Where to buy: Motor Mounts & Stud Conversion

As the title says, I'm looking for a vendor that sells uprated motor mounts and a wheel stud conversion kit. After watching my engine jump around while on the dyno, I'm convinced uprated motor mounts will be beneficial. Also, I'm looking to convert to wheel studs as I prefer them over lug bolts.

Thanks!

Call WayMotorWorks. He sells a lower engine/tranny insert that takes 30 minutes to install and stops most of the rocking. The part is pretty inexpensive and worth the cost.

Just make sure you note which kind of mount you have - Mini switched from a rectangular to round mount sometime in 2008. I believe WayMotorWorks sells both shapes. Call him

I have the TSW stud conversion kit and highly recommend it. You can't go wrong with either of these two vendors, they are by far my favorite MINI vendors.
