mcc1979ian Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any experience of the Devon 4x4 heavy duty engine mounts for the V8 and what you thought of them. Are they both chassis and engine sides of the mount? Currently i need both sides so if these were any good that would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie D Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Anything that I've seen from QT has been excellent before - haven't seen these in the flesh though I do have thier diff guards fitted without any complaints. Think the company was started by enthusiasts and developed fom there. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddler Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I used the QT ones for a number of years after repeatedly destroying the nearside mounting rubber on my V8 90. They are great as they are a direct swap for the originals and you will never destroy them. The downside is that because there is very little rubber in them (they use a panhard rod bush as the bushing) they do transmit quite a lot of high frequency vibration through to the chassis and vehicle structure. If you are not doing speed events and do not need captive mounts, then I suggest using genuine 50th anniversary 90 V8 engine mount rubbers from a LR dealer. I changed from the QT mounts to these and never managed to break one in 6 years of hard use with a 4.6 and auto box in top-level challenges, french randonne's and fast road use. You may need to remove the engine to fit these as you need to drill out the holes in the metal engine and chassis mounts due to the larger diameter mounting hardware. Hope that helps, Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I just fitted the qt ones, I've had it running much so can't comment, but I angled them at about 45 degrees as per a thread I'd found regarding excessive vibrations with them.
