Hi mate, was wondering what dog bone mount you use, and if there are any you can recommend?

Anyone thats packed full of polyurethane sealant. :wink:
Mine is actually a Hillpower uprated one that had become worn over 4 years of abuse, so I uprated it again with polyurethane.
All my mounts are now done with this. I reckon its probably the tightest mounted engine in the whole of Clioland.
Or just silicon sealent in the gaps :)

I rmember being quite pleased with it when I bought it, but to be honest poly's the way to go in the future for me.
Having said that they are a pretty reasonable price from what I remember.

It was quite a few years back when I bought mine. Probably around £45 in those days.

How much?! £50? jesus. Any tips on packing them full of sealent Mark? Dog bone should be easy enough , how about the others? Having the R19 gearbox mount done 2moro. What sealent do you use, and where can i get some?
many thanks!
defiantly get a r19 box mount on! just fitted mine and it dont move fcuk all no more lol :)
Anyone got a part no. for this mount?
forget part numbers....i need pictures.
lol.....best way mate is to press the original rubber out, turn it 90 degrees and get it pressed back in, slap a bit of sealant in there as well an save urself 50-60 quid or woteva it is
why reno ever put the rubber in the wrong way round is a fukkin mystery to me

But how much is a reno dog bone mount? For the price of buying a new one, pressing it out, ****ing around, might as well just pay 50 quid for one all ready to go.

dog bone mount is £28 iirc. so still a long way off £50.
The R19 mount is part number r10148 from GSF and cost £9.99. You do need the bracket that holds it to gearbox though, it is the same as the Megane one i THINK. I'll have a better idea after today when mine gets fitted. Gonna sort the dog bone out with some sealent too.

£28 quid plus VAT, plus all the wasted time fixing it, say 2 hours at £10 an hour, petrol to collect it from Renault, plus the time, stuck in traffic on the way, say another £10.
Really worth it.

£28 inclusive from GSF, also, i thought nick hills is £60, plus postage, plus waiting for it to get sent out......**** that. Anyway, i'm sure to some its a bargain, and if i didn't feel confident enough to turn the rubber around and pack it full of sealent, i'd be on the phone to Nick now ordering one.

Seems like a lot of hassel just to save 10 quid or so. Still its your cash mate. But if your going to pack it full of sealant, why buy a new mount?
Might as well just pack an old one.
I always wondered if vulcanising rubber would make a better packing material.

nah i'mm packing my old one, its a=only about 200 miles old. And it's hardly saving £10, more like £30!

Interesting! Packed my old one full of sealent and its now ace, and got my R19 one on, BUT, it didnt fit, so i used a 1.1 night&day one instead which fits much better! Hardly any movement now!
lol, i have a nick hill one too, and i can say it does the job nicely, tbh i just left it as it was and didnt bother with fillering it in and its pritty dam good, better then it was with the standard one which was all nakard and falling apart
clean...i need pictures mate. :wink:
