Powerflexes, 3rd attempt failed already, Another design now
#37
Binned the Powerflex mount, their 3rd effort lasted even less time 4 days !

So went down to the car club at work this evening, got the car up in the air and removed the mount.

As i knew their improvements wouldn't work and they are a very long way off from sorting it, i was after a one of the ones Rippthrough makes, i have heard nothing back from him so i got myself a Vibra-technics one.

All fitted and the car drives much better, alot less engine movement, it vibrates a little more than standard on idle but less than the powerflex one did.
Was nice and easy to fit, no need to remove the driveshaft and bracket it mounts to, managed to press it in in situe using threaded bar and some bits out of a bearing puller kit my mate has. The hardest bit was getting it started and to go in straight, once it was started it went in quite easily.
It's not something i would want to do without a ramp.

So if you have a Powerflex one and your waiting to fit it, I honestly wouldn't bother.
