Not wanting to intrude, but I recently filled a half-ripped one with Silkaflex 221 and the result has been more than satisfactory. So much so that I've postponed replacing the rear mount although I can feel the beginning of a slight split in it. My engine doesn't move at all now if I tug the throttle cable.

No idea how long it's likely to last, mind, and if I was to do it again I'd probably leave it a week to fully harden and then drill some holes in the front corners rather than leave it solid (gives a bit of vibration at idle, rattles stuff around in the comedy glovebox).

I've already filled the gearbox and cambelt mount with polyurethane, and have an insert for the front one, problem is the amount of rust on the one I have is shocking, so much so that it's crept right under the rubber causing much of it to separate from the frame. :shock:

Hey bud.

I can remove it over the weekend and get it posted on Monday. Do you need just the mount (nr 10 below), or the metal engine mount above aswell (nr 15 below).

See pics below. The mount will need a derust, looks like the fire extinguisher powder attacked that as well, but the rubber of the mount seemed ok - I'll check this better once off the car. The upper mount part (15 above) looks pretty good though.

Just nr 10 please. A derust was always expected and that looks ok to me. Just drop me a PM re cost/payment, etc..
