Just received my Motor Mount Kit from the UK. Overall the kit looks nice! I have not installed yet! For all the USA buyers beware that with the current Tariffs & Taxes to get this kit it costs me 1664.13 A Bit pricey in my opinion ! I will post back when installed with the results ?

Ouch. I bought my mount kit in July (still not installed), and it was just under $1400 all in. And it's not just tariffs/taxes. The value of the dollar to the pound has dropped over 7% since January.

Will be interested in your experiences with the kit when you get it installed. I don't know if he updated the instructions with my suggestions, but I sent them all to him. The mere fact of being able to actually use the mirrors is pretty amazing itself!

Can you not fit them yourself? I've found working on my cars quite rewarding and been surprised how straightforward some even what appear complex jobs are if you take time. I've been using AI to help me with process.

I've been using AI to help me with process. I did mine myself, and it wasn't too bad. A bit fiddly in a few places - getting the old mounts out in particular. But if you have a clue, and you're handy with a wrench and a cutting tool, it's not a bad job.

Finally got the motor mounts installed! Install wasn't to bad. First impression was the motor does move around A lot at idle? Driving the car is more pleasant & smoother than before. The quality of the kit is good. Only thing that needs improvement would be parts diagrams with pictures of parts the way it should be installed. Perhaps a stiffed rubber mount would decrease the shaking motor! Is it worth the price I'm still on the fence about that.

Jep
Is that not the whole point - allow the engine to move rather than like the original MMC mounts which transferred all that rocking to the chassis?
