06 Poly Engine Bushing??

I've searched and can't seem to find any info on whether or not anyone makes a polyurethane motor mount bushing for the 2005/06 MCS?? I've found a LOT of places that offer Engine Bushings like this one at Detroit Tuning:


They just don't look like they'll work on my Motor Mount

I AutoX in the STX class and have found in the rules where I can replace bushings or add non-metallic inserts, but I'm pretty sure adding the "Engine Damper" wouldn't be allowed.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks

Uhh, OK. STX forum it is then, although the question is about the bushings and not the rules

No problem. I'll move it back and leave a link then. I thought you might have a rules question about it too.

I'm getting dizzy

What I'm trying to find out is which, if any, polyurethane Motor Mount Bushing will fit/work on the 2005 and 2006 Motor Mounts. These things look WAY different than the pics I've seen of the earlier mounts

Thanks

As far as I know, the bushings should work on all pre-07 Minis.
I just picked up a set this weekend and noticed a difference on my 02' MC immediately. Here are pics for all who may be interested










I picked up my set from Mini-Madness http://www.mini-madness.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=110
They suggest that install time is about 1 hour but I was done in about half and hour. (use channel-lock plyers to remove the OEM rubber bushing and also use the plyers to align the bracket so the bolts will go into place.) just my 2 cents
