Mag, have you looked at my posts on engine mounts? They really shouldn't break!

Thanks for the replys guys, sorry for my late response i seem to be working away from home pretty much all the time these days

.
I see Speedy, so it is gone now, but staying in the V3M community?
Theo yes please i'll have one if you can post it?
Chris, not read it recently last time i looked you had sussed the front mounts are slightly too low not sure if you've found any new developments (i know they shouldn't break but to be fair i did clutch kick it like a knob

)

It's somewhere around there. Stock rear mounts don't hold the tail in line enough and cause the rubber to tear (I'm guessing yours has torn the rubber?)

To be honest it just went bang and i knew what it was so i've not been under to have a proper look but i could spin the prop by hand but it hadn't dropped, so yes like the last one i reckon the rubber has gone.
If thats the case mine needs addressing and has done since the engine was put in. As i didn't have a new one we reused the old one and being a 1.4 we also had to angle grind a notch in it to clear the clutch cable i think, so again that would weaken it.
