    Default C20xe engine mounts

    Hi Iv recently bought a nova with the c20xe conversion already done. It's got solid engine mounts which I want to change to normal rubber ones.
    What engine mounts do I need? Does it use normal nova ones or modified ones?

    thanks

    Rubber mounts could be a combination of Nova and Astra mate.

    Whilst I'm running rubber solid mounts also the 3 above look suspiciously similar.

    Someone else might be able to confirm regarding rubber strength when used with a 20XE.

    You should be able to get away with new Nova only rubber mounts. Can be gotten relatively cheaply.

    It all depends on how the metal brackets have been modified to suit the solid mounts though.

    Filling them with tigerseal or other polyurathene sealant is good to remove some movement. I personally believe the rubber/solid combo mounts are the best option, you don't want too much movement on the engine.
