Thinking of adding bush kit to the R56 lower engine mount

[dirchy]

I'm thinking about things to change on my MCS now. One of the things I've read about, is the benefits of reduced torque steer if you fit additional bushes to the lower engine mount.

I have found the Powerflex bushes on Lohen, but they are inserts for the later bush as far as I can tell.

This is the bush on my Nov 06 build (if I piccied the right one).


It's a triangular one which I think was fitted to some earlier R56's.

Does anyone know if I can get an insert for this bush and where from?

I did read about changing the whole bush but the piccys on Lohen of the newer bush look narrower than the one fitted to mine, might just be me though.

Any advice/help appreciated.

NM-Engineering (nm-eng.com) has the "triangle" bushing inserts available.

Just buy a new oem one, the new updated enigne mount are a big inprovment. I have changed from old to new and could feel the difference strait away. They don't sell the old version any longer
