Reconditioning flexible engine mounts

Given the chance,I will and normally can recondition most things,when I spotted a set of soft engine mounts going spare recently,I made a plan to get them to restore.
When cleaned up by bead blasting,then bonding one of the center rubber discs back to the top and bottom plates,I then re bonded the lower plate to the base with Dow-Corning 816 black silicone,when given the time to cure,which will be a few days,it can be disc sanded.


The important part of these soft rubber mounts is their ability to move or float a little,thats why the black silicone goes right to the bottom of the mount plates.
We stock and sell Dow-Corning 813 in tubes.
