   Hello all, after another set of engine mounts, a new mecanique found out that a small part is missing on the Gearbox side mount. Here is the drawing of the missing part:
   
   Does anyone know what is this ? Metal ? Rubber ? any pictures of the actual part ? Where can I get one ?
   
   Thanks for the help

   It's a metal insert that sits inside the rubber mount.
   
   Ordering from a dealer or getting one from a scrap yard is probably your best bet.

   it should fit as tight as possible ??
   Im thinking to machine one using stainless steel round bar... drill in the hole and machine the outer part for a tight fit in the mount.

    i can see missing part in the mount it is not tube shaped, it has flat sides to fit exactly rubber shape and the length is few mm shorter than depth of mount... is this how its supposed to be ?

    but that mtg you show is not std mtg - it looks like and upgraded one
    trust me --"i,m a dcotor" --a striaght tube thats a tight fit in old mtg is all you need

    So wouldn't it be better if I do like the uprated one ? (as long as I'm doing it )

    The mount he pictured is the bm baker one. I had a couple o them. 2 I ordered didn't come with the metal insert but I just pulled the ones out In the standard ones an slid it in. Works perfect.

    the metal tube should be at the same level of the rubber ? or shorter ? or longer ?
