Ta-dah! Arrived yesterday. I'm really chuffed.

Oh that's bizarre!
It would come in a cartridge over here, to go in a sealant gun.

It does go in a sealer gun but an air operated one

@simonc I'll be very interested to know how you get on with this, i know my mounts are looking worn and if they are that difficult to get new in OEM form I'll probably do the same as you. My only worry is cabin vibrations so please do feedback on how they feel once fitted

thats a lot of sikaflex there Simon

one of these tubes will be more than enough to do a full set of mounts

i tried es poly inserts on the front an back mounts and had problems with vibration through the steering colum and into the cabin - sikaflex filled oems ones seem better but you will still feel the difference - sometimes there can be a bit of vibration just after fitting them if that does happen it usually settles down over time.

sikaflex mounts have got to be one of the cheapest and best mods £ for £ imo

Damn... I wish I had known this before spending 50€ on ES mount inserts

Yes @mercutio, it is rather black puddingy isn't it? God, what I'd give for a full English right now.

Yes, I do have rather a lot of it, don't I? Well, it's a long story as to why I've gotten a box, which I'll save for another day. The saving grace on the bulk purchase is that Linda's brother has agreed to take the balance from me, once I've used what I need, as he's in the building trade and will need it at some time.

I will definitely post some pics and a report on the result as soon as I can get to see Jason. Hopefully, we'll be able to do it early next week.

Went out first thing this morning and bought one these squirty guns. Just hoping his nibs is free later and then we can get fillin'.

I love it when a plan comes together...

Drat. Jason was swamped today, so we couldn't crack on. I'll post the photos and the vibration report post-Sikaflex fill, as soon as we've done it.
