will you be sending notification on mine when you ship it?

Yeah I'll let you know when I get your M.O. and I mail it out. No worries.

1/2 of my bushing order came in today. Just waiting on the other size bushings now to complete the ES mounts. Expect them to be ready probably sometime mid week if I do not have to modify the mounts like the filled ones. If I do I might send them to be CNC'ed for the clearance.

what's better, filled or the bushing ones?

Both are poly. The filled ones are just cheaper cause I had the poly around and used it up. The ES ones are more cause well, I had to buy the bushings and they aren't cheap. If the poly wears out in either style, they can be replaced with the ES bushings.

A how-to I will post up when I get the bushings showing how to re-build them. It's easy really slap in the rear one, and slap in the front after you trim 3mm off the center of one bushing, and 3mm off the bolt sleeve.

Here is a preview of the ES polygrahpite ones that will be coming within a week or two probably. (have to have some of the sleeves machined, as cutting all 10 of them by hand would get old fast!)

I have one more filled mount left. It's a bit more narrower than the rest as the cutting machine broke a bit and cut it up some, so it was re-worked. Shouldn't matter, the only thing I can see happening is possibly the center mount aluminum moving some back and forth side to side, but won't affect operation of the mount. It will still function just fine, since the force of movement pulling apart not side to side. Whatever just letting you know.

Here's a perfect pic i borrowed from punkboy's thread of what I was talking about before with the M hole and A hole on the 92-96 (except 3100)

3100s only have the "A" hole, not the "M" hole like used in punkboy's pic.

so i use the a hole then?

Post by **Cliff8928** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 12:12 pm

Yeah, that's what all the automatics use. The problem is when you put a 5-speed with a 3100/3400/3500. THere is no M hole there to use.

LOL That just sounds so wrong.

Did anyone ever get an exact measurement of the difference? If I get that then I can have up to 2 made. We have enough left for 2 more. We will need to order more bushings though. I never did hear back from Steph I sent her a PM so I guess she doesn't want the custom solid anymore? So I could do 2 shorter ones. The extra cost on the bushings would be 2.75 more per mount since I would be placing a small order for them this time. Last time it was a bit cheaper as I had an order over $120 so shipping was free. But that's no biggie in cost to you guys.

Which ever. Heavywoody should be going out today i think? Don't remember, but sometime soon there should be a measurement available.

Got mine today and got it installed, just wondering if anybody knows if the bigger bolt goes in the left hole. i'm pretty sure it does but i want to make sure.

IsaacHayes · Post by **IsaacHayes** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 2:41 pm

The longer bolt goes towards the front of the car. Short bolt towards rear.

If you have an automatic, the bolt goes in the "A" hole, manual it goes in the "M" Hole. 3100's have only one hole.
