Recon Type 3 rear engine mountings - On exchange
Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 1:23 pm
Greetings everyone
Since a few more type 3's have come out of the woodwork: I am offering reconditioned rear engine mountings for all Type 3's with manual transmissions on exchange. These mountings are becoming almost impossible to find in useable condition. Have a look at the pics below - the original rubber insert gets replaced with a polyurethane casting of similar stiffness and as result of the casting process one ends up with a slightly larger contact area so the recon mounting should provide even better stability and last much longer than the original. I've had one on the Notch for about two years and it works very well - no more bucking/shunting if you let the clutch out quickly. The price is R450 each to anyone on the forum - excluding postage. Depending on demand I should be able to dispatch within a week of receiving your old mounting. Please PM if interested.
If there is demand I will look into having the spacers between the body & mounting made up as well.
