Solid mounts

[ricola]

If you look on my website you can see that I did some grinding to the webbing on the nosecone, I also ground a tiny bit off the torsion tube and had to remove the reverse light switch.
I used a berg style mid mount and German rear bushes..

Thanks Ricola, I've got the reverse light switch out and the webbing ground, this is really good news for me because I was not looking forward to solid mounts.

same as with Ricola for my setup, only difference is that I use a solid rear mount and a gene berg mid mount

What is the vibration like while driving? Is it ok on the highway? Does it rattle everything apart?

Where did you get your mid mount from? I thinking I might just make one since the berg one seems to be ridiculously expensive.

I have driven the car with the rear solid mount and the stock front mount on my old pan and can't say much about vibration. It was more like trying to keep the thing on the road without crashing into anything, crazy fast with the TT engine. On my new pan I moved the engine forward and used the mid mound but have not yet driven it since I'm doing a body off resto on it.
Think I ordered the mid mount from the VW speedshop in the UK if I remember correctly.

Thanks, I think I'll try that route first, berg-mid, solid rear and if the vibes are too much then its easy to throw the rear rubber mounts in.
