510WGN Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 If any of your old Engine Mounts are stuffed, take them to your nearest branch of BNT and they will send them away to be remade with stuff like what the Nolathane bushes are made of! This is WAY stronger than normal rubber so perfect for when thrashin your oldschool ride. They can do pretty much any kind of mounts - I sent my two mounts on my North South beam in the Primera away to get done, just fitted it today and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Hardly any flex in the mounts at all! They did put a couple of cutouts in the mounts - even though I asked for SOLID mounts But it doesn't seem too bad as it is. I'll be sending my old 1600 mounts away soon so they are all ready for the extra power of the SR20. My Boss has had his old Anglia ones done too after his 1600 engine kept breaking the original ones. Will update when I find out how much it actually cost me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Im keen to know more about cost etc, and what is BNT? My old 1300 mounts looked a bit tired when I put them in with the 1600, would be nice to get them re-made with urethane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

510WGN Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 Yeah just look up BNT in the phone book, is one on pretty much every decent sized town! Will have the prices tomorrow for ya... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Mk1 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 I cant see this as a good idea.... Nolathane is sposed 2 tighten up your suspension, putting urethane in ur mounts will tighten them up, putting all stress str8 into ur chassis. Unless its a different grade of urthane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 To get new ones for my 2L conversion for the escort I went into a local trucking parts supplier and picked up a couple off the shelf. Just a basic round mount (available in different heights) with the metal plates bonded to either side with the studs welded to the plates. All the dimensions are the same as my old ones. Warning to those using polyeurethane or similar bushes for engine mounts - by current nz law you should have all mounts for engine and g/box made of the same material. It'll probably only get picked up by an overzealous wof check or your certifier (not that most here bother with that anyway...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mex Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 BNT has most shit like brake pads and suspension parts and pretty much anything ya need for ya car, pretty much like repco but without the shitty accessories(altho they do have a few) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mex Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 yeah this would put more strain on ya chassis but if it can handle it it would be a good thing, and movement in ya mounts is lost torque that is been wasted instead of sent down ya drivetrain sounds good i might look into a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big tymer Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 yes this would be good if you had a strong chassis like a hilux and a rocky engine like a bridgport tell me how much my exhuast keeps braking this should fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510WGN Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 I cant see this as a good idea....Nolathane is sposed 2 tighten up your suspension, putting urethane in ur mounts will tighten them up, putting all stress str8 into ur chassis. Unless its a different grade of urthane It seems like exactly the same stuff to me... BUT... They do cut little gaps in them so it isn't TOTALLY solid! My Bosses Anglia went through for Cert with those engine mounts in there too. Is mint to drive, just notice a small vibration into the body when starting, but otherwise isn't harsh at all. If you are all too scared to use them then no point bitchin about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mex Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 and yes there is different grades of urthane, except they are not called urthane each different grade has its own exact name just depends exactly whats in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big tymer Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 well how much for a two mounts????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510WGN Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Shit sorry! From what I've seen they seem to range from about $80 - $120 each, probably pay to ask them first!! My Shitty Primera ones were cheaper than my boss' Anglia ones for some reason! Thought mine would have cost more cause they are way bigger!

big tymer Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 sweet as thanks for that this has become very handy for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mex Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 yeah im definitly going to get a set for my new engine also the primera ones are propaply a common shape that are universal for a few models making them cheaper than the ones for an anglia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
510WGN Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah but they aren't exchange mounts, they just fill your old mount and send it back, the front one for the Primera was welded to the North South beam so had to be sent up with it. Was a real mission for them to stick it in the oven type thing they have cause of that, but I'm not complaining about the cheaper price!
