Its Selleys Araldite super strength, a two part glue. It takes 72 hours to fully set. It bonded well to the rubber bushing.

Im guessing that glue was too high of a durometer. The windsheild urethane is essentially like adding more rubber to the voids making it a full rubber mount. The glue more than likely made it like a solid bushing.

i ended filling mine tonight. it was a fiasco lol. my gun broke, the bolt holes on the trans wanted to strip, and I ended up having to fill the holes with my hands getting shit all over. Thank goodness for nitrile gloves.


letting it dry over night and we will see how it feels tomorrow

just did mine using PL Premium 3x strength 100% Polyurethane. took the mount out Saturday early morning, and just put it back in now.
Took it for a small test ride (nothing spirited), and the difference is insane. no extra vibes at all.
only thing else ill say is that washing with soap and water sucks. after that didn't work i used a ton of q-tips and some lacquer thinner.

Any updates on how the mount is working? I'm probably going to pull my RMM and get it done.

I used pennies and random stuff from home depot. It pushed the pennies out and was too harsh until it pushed the pennies out, lol. Then i installed a 2J racing insert and its harsh, but it does drive with more response and better shifting, and I didn't shear a motor mount bolt at the track again the last time I went...

I'd like to fill the other mounts with something to help support them, then go down to a RMM that's not as stiff.

BreedT (I think) is making one that looks amazing.

I just has bigger fish to fry than to spend my very few personal hours losing sleep over the motor mounts for right now. But its on the list :)
