    Default engine mounts

    Hey guys, going to get my engine mounts done and was just wondering if anybody had bought the ones on ebay or if anyone knows the best place to buy them genuine ones where really expensive, pedders seems to have a decent price at $85 a mount, haven’t checked repco or bursons yet just thought I’d get some opinions.

    Can't go wrong with that they even have a five year warranty.

    Yeah but at less than half the cost of pedders and less than a quarter of the cost of genuine surely somthing must be up?

    eBay mounts are foreign made rubbish. Every time. I've used a few before, and they just aren't the same. I had a set in my VP, they lasted a month.

    Call your local Burson, and ask for Mackay part number A2546. They usually stock A2546H hydraulic mounts, but they can order the non-hydraulic variants in from head office next-day, and they're cheaper. They'll be made locally, in Moorabbin, and they'll just be better in every way. I don't know where you live, but if you go to the Moorabbin store we can pick them up for you same-hour from Mackay, and I usually keep a set on the shelf anyway.

    I have a set of them in my calais and there great. The cheapest place i found was autobarn for 75 each and then they had to order them in.. Mine have been in for 4 months and are still great..
