QUOTE(ArtechnikA @ Oct 21 2003, 11:52 AM) 99.9% of PMO's business is the sale and support of carburetors. this does not make for an objective observer. .. Ah, didn't realize they sold carbs.

That was NOT going to do in my daily driver so I modified one of the mounts to slightly soften it -- worked better than I expected (yeay). I do understand the function of mounts and why stiffer ones are desireable for those of us in the performance mind set...but still, for street driven cars solid mounts are (IMG:http://images.zeroforum.com/smile/emthdown.gif) |

I'm in a bit of a quandry. My 914/6 trans mounts work just fine, thanks, but I've got a set of solid mounts that I need to try out. Come spring, they'll be in there for a test.
