Urethane motor mounts as a complete set?

I am aware of multiple motor/tranny mounts available independently from different manufacturers, such as these:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...tor-mount.html

http://new.minimania.com/web/item/NMG5101/InvDetail.cfm

http://new.minimania.com/web/item/NME5104/InvDetail.cfm

Does anyone make a single, comprehensive bushing or replacement kit for ALL the motor/tranny mounts? Or, for that matter, for ALL the rubber bushings on the MINI? Everything out there seems to be piecemeal.

PowerFlex makes the most of anyone of the bushings in/on a MINI.

TSW is the only company making a motor mount replacement.

I can help you with all of the above. What's your goal for bushings?

I just blew out my oil filled motor mount for the second time...
I'm very interested in a more durable alternative. Does TSW or anyone have replacement for sale yet?

Hell, while I'm at it.. I need a deal on some willwoods if they'll fit behind the factory five spoke bullet wheels I use during the winter

Ok, now I'm off my iPhone I was able to look around on the links provided above. Looks like I'll be trying out the TSW motor mount.

Anyone know if the willwoods fit behind the stock 5 spoke bullets?

Just looking for a complete solution to replace all rubber. I do this with every car I own. I prefer to get a complete kit, then replace bushings as I gain access to them through other repairs/mods.

My oil-filled motor-mount blew really early on my car, so I supported it with TSW's V1 mount, and now I have their V2 mount. It's been almost 40,000 miles and no issues. I think the mount limits the movement of the motor enough to keep the stress off the stock mount. I have no basis to prove that beyond the fact that my second stock mount is still fine.

Todd at TCE has lots of experience with wilwoods. Which caliper are you talking about? Which kit? He has a diagram to check fitment and is a very helpful guy - give him a call.

I think MB is talking about the TSW Damper Kit which as been found to help prolong the life of the bad OEM motor mount. However the OEM mount will fail sooner or later and can be replaced with the TSW Motor Mount and the Damper Kit is no longer needed.

Yet Todd at TCE is a great guy too.
