So my question: Is there any reason not to fabricate solid mounts to entirely replace the roll-resistors?

I filled mine with 2 part urethane casting compound. search the archives for engine mounts. there is one with a website and part numbers. stuff works great. 95 mystique daily driver 96 mystique parts car 95 contour 3.0L oval port swap in the works check my classified ad

I'm thinking I'm going to use some square steel tube and quarter inch plate stock, but thats what I have easy access to. And to reduce vibration transfer, I'm planning on using rubber or urathane washers between the mounts and the chassis.

That must help with elimination of wheel hop. i also agree that eliminating the roll of the engine completely will help wear on your tranny and clutch much quicker. 1998 T-Red SVT (SOLD) #4230 BOD-12/5/97 99 3L and stuff 2003 Jaguar X-Type
