Hi, Carl here. In VW dune/rail buggys and sometimes trikes we run solid engine and transmission mounts. Has anyone tried it with a Subaru engine? I was wondering how well they would work. Looks like they would be simpler to set up and cheaper too. Thanks, Carl

ooh, sounds nice even for daily driven lifted Brats???????????????

details needed

This has been brought up before, and again I'm going to have to mention my concern over boy flex. The bodies on these car flex quite a bit, especially on the older EA81s, and the crossmembers are solidly mounted to the body. The aluminum bellhousings of both the engine and transmission could very well crack and break if solid mounts are used.

It's actually simpler to set these up with the isolation mounts, since it goes from several bolts and some funky angles and offsets to just a few bolts, and simple angles for the motor mounts.
