e28 'Green' Mounts - BITE ME!!

[Lof8]

What do you guys think about Silence's solid 24V mounts? I hate the idea of my driveline flopping around under hard turns and braking, but I hope these things don't rattle my teeth out.

^^ told ya

The aluminum mounts referenced and pictured above were designed and manufactured by AKG Motorsport - and any CAD drawings of our design are being sold/shared without our permission.

yeah, and the mounts i bought from you don't fit, the angle was not correct for e30 24v so I had to mill my own mounts, after many many tries back and forth untill it sat right both mounts being the same. So, the design and drawings are mine. You wouldn't give me a refund so bite me.

At my recent track day, I caught a glimpse of my shifter moving around scarily left to right (about 4-5") as I was making my way through a quick left-right S. I haven't jacked the car up yet to look but I suspect some engine or tranny mounts to be failing. I've got green e28 engine mounts and e21 tranny mounts with no metal cups. (very little mileage on them). I'll probably be looking for replacements here soon.

I am having a hard time grasping the idea that the 4 rubber/urethane mounts are what keep the engine/tranny still during hard braking. It doesn't seem sufficient.

I am running E28 mounts for now. Fresh swap. Intentions are to see how it goes as I am interested. AKG mounts can be ordered if need be.

UUC Black w/ cups for trans.

I wish i saw this thread before i bought the mounts :(.

now thats where i cross the line. i'll be more than glad to sell you drawings. there's a disclosure on my drawings, those can't be distributed.

pfff lol i completely forgot it was u... goes to show how little i;m interested in selling them. The only reason i made them really was so i wouldn't have to change the mount ever again...specially after melting an IE mount -.- glws!

edit: i forgot where the "design" was posted so here ya go..

I'd like to see the mount design.

Luis I'm going to be using your design, hope you don't mind. Getting a quote in the next few days for a run of 10.

If your going to get some of those al. mounts fabed up (for use with the e36 arms right?) I'd be intrested in a set.

surebimmer: i posted with the intention of people copying the "design". What they do to get it right is up to them, i do have full out cad drawings if you're interested. I sold a few already to offset the cost of making mine but, I'm just not interested in selling a few parts here and there. Hey, i only posted it to further enhance r3v content, just like i did with the OBDII wiring kamasutra thread which is probably my only other useful post ever :-) so as long as r3v is helpful to me, i'll be helpful back.

i love my akg mounts

Have you ever run anything else? Just a question. Would you buy solid alum motor mounts? Do you track or autox your car? How many miles do you have on the AKG mounts? All feedback is great.

i love my akg mounts

[surebimmer]

^ you track those and its likely that you'll be posting here soon after..

thoughts? ask me ; / they are excellent and you can barely feel them above 1000rpm. pm me, i have drawings. No more melted IE mounts!!!!!

I too now have the AKG mounts with UUC trans mounts. Much much better than the green mounts after mine got ripped to pieces. For $200 its a no brainer.
