Polyurethane engine mounts for 1st gen, front and rear, 2 durometers available
Finally slapped a set of plain 60A on my car... and..
first off they bolted right in like the stockers and....
they feel G-R-E-A-T! More than I expected! Really! I was expecting vibrations, no more engine walk and better acceleration BUT! To my surprise, no vibrations! Only on startup it will shake more than before... but as soon as the engine runs it just feels like a normal car, same thing on the road, whatever speeds or rpms. No more hesitation upon accelaration.
Really they do all the good they were supposed to, minus the bad they were predicted to do. Think we've got a nice product here and I'm glad I took the time to finalize design and testing. (Yes it took way too much time, I agree)
Unfortunatly I wasn't able to test for a long period, I blew the clutch master cylinder (I think) and now the car is undriveable.
SO, I'm getting the last pieces this week and will TRY to finish a batch (like 6-7 sets) in the next 2 weeks.
Thanks all for your patience. I won't let you down.
Im not sure but is this still the first 10 orders u got? If so, how long will it take for the second orders to come if there's a second order?
I would like to order a set but looking at this thread it seems like it takes about 5mos. to finish and I will be needing it in August. If you have extra or you're gonna have another shipment please let me know as for the meantime I'll just buy the Ford escort inserts. Thank you...

Still is the first orders... thing is I got all sorts of little problems, polyurethane availability.. stuff like that. It's taking wayyy too long and I'm not proud of the way it turned out. So next time I will just offer 'em when the batch is ready now that I know the demand exist.
As you seen in my other posts, my car isn't running right now and it's been parked in the driveway since early may.
So I felt I never had enough time to test the mounts. I was only able to drive with 'em for about 6 miles just before I blew my clutch.
I have a bunch done and they are sitting in my closet cause I just can't affort to sell a product I feel I haven't tested enough. I did sell a couple of kits to close friends but their cars haven't been running much either. I would feel very very cheap if someone broke something, or worse, was hurt cause of one of my products being bad.
That's most of the story right now. If my car runs saturday I hope I will be able to begin testing for a longer period and finally be able to supply the community with a nice and TESTED product that is up for the task as I promessed.
I hope you guys understand I have limited sources and funds and that I can't just sell some crucial parts like engine mounts that would turn out to be total piece of crap.
