spoke to Gunner and he said polyurethane sealant

spoke to my mechanic and he said 'Dow Corning' silicone sealant

spoke to a local shop and he said the same as my mechanic

would the silicone sealer be ok to use ?........

oh and just a bit of info for everyone

the genuine dogbone from Renault has now gone up in price, it will cost you about £50 instead of the £35/£40 it used to, only found out today when mine arrived, never thought about asking for the price as my dialogys is usually correct

Has the rubber in that dogbone been rotated 90 degrees? If so is it difficult to knock out and then get back in?

Do you think its worth doing if I already have a r19 mount and will I get excessive vibration?

right if you want it to be solid as some woudl call it, then theres options

A. Melt plastic down and get it boiling, pour it through the rubber and leave it to set.

B. Cut up an old cambelt or rubber hose, fill gaps with said rubber then tiger seal it over.

VIBRATION with increase as will general noise.

I totated my new Renault one through 90 degs and TBH think thats fine. I cant be dealing with excessive vibration.

ive got no extra vibration at all using silicone, and it did make it a bit stiffer
