Whats everyone using? Are the standard nova ones alright to use? I dont really want to be paying ?100 for competition ones.

you cam use the std mounts but you will find that the engine will rock back and forth in the bay when you are giving it a bit

this will cause it it to hit the bulkhead and the rad making nice dents in both lol , also you will have more chance of snapping shafts ,

either stiffin them up with some tigerseal for a cheap job or buy the proper ones , well worth it :thumb:

its money well spent, i hate rubber standard mounts on the 2lt novas. They cant even hold in a 1.4 without snapping.

Can you recommend any? im a bit tight for cash and dont really like the idea of using tigerseal. Chris astley does them but they are over ?150 :(

I assume cav/astra rubbers wont fit? I have a cav gsi on my driveway
