Any color, but green and gold preferred. (J/K)

The Lotus Sport mounts are several times more expensive and aren't here in the US yet.

AZReason · 08-01-2008, 01:13 PM

Black or red is great. I want a set.

mlk_f1 · 08-01-2008, 11:54 PM

Here is an update. The manufacturer is running slightly behind on some of their existing jobs. I was told it shouldn't be too much longer before they get to ours. They are saying about one more week or so. Sorry for the delay. I will not accept anyone's payment until I have the the items in my possession, ready to ship, and installation instruction online. Don't worry, I will have enough for everyone here.

BTW, I will try to have them make both black and red in the same batch. No guarantees though. If not, they will have to be black by the results of the poll right now.

thanks for everyone's patience

Those Lotus Sport mounts looks like a complete replacement of the stock rubber bushings. If so, its hard work to install them. You will need to press out the original rubber bushings from the metal housing. then press in the new Lotus sport mounts. It is not easy pressing the originals out. We tried. Initially, we used a 20,000 ton press, but failed. Then we had to move up to a 80,000 ton power press to finally get the job done. But not to worry. The inserts I'm making don't require this pressing installation procedure. We had to press that piece out only to make the production molds. As mention on the previous post, installation for my engine mount inserts will be very easy and should only take ~30 minutes with normal garage tools. Cars with RTD brace will take about 10 mintues more.

Excellent !!! Great work --- +1

Anything but black.............

LordZ · 08-02-2008, 07:43 AM

I think you should have a new poll with just red and black while we wait.

$200 each was the quote I got from the dealer.
