Who carries polyurethane motor mounts?
Who carries polyurethane motor mounts? I have checked several sponsor web sites for polyurethane motor mounts without any luck. Who carries mounts and what brands are available?

I got my set from Jegs, Summit also has them, and I'm sure a number of the sponsors sell them.
The only "problem" is that you only get the "inside" part (the poly) and you have to cut apart a factory motor mount to install the poly.
I bought another set from a guy, cut them apart, had the metal parts (the clams) powder coated, and then bolted them back together (with the new poly inside) with stainless bolts and metal center locking nuts. By doing this, I have better motor mount (won't rust) and was able to pay $50 to have someone else beat their hands up swapping the mounts (well worth the cost).

I would take a look at it.......I have a BMR K-member (so its about 500% easier to get at things) and I still don't like messing with motor mounts
as I said, get a set (used) from someone, mod them, and then take the car to a shop and pay them $50 - $100 to swap them out.....it is WELL worth the money

Larry.. I think it will be an even easier swap with your K member.. since you can remove the whole motor mount if nesasary.
As far as the swapping out of the bushings... it's pretty straight forward. You'll need a good sharp chisel, drill and a good vise. Alot like swapping to a poly tranny mount... just a little more of it. Not a bad idea to have some paint handy to "touch" them up afterward.
