Hi all

 

can anybody confirm if this is a common issue? The engine mount on the drivers side seems to have 3-5mm clearance between the mount and the buffers either side. I can make a spacer thats no issue but just seems plain wrong to me?

 

Thanks

Yeah it's common. Peugeot used to sell spacers but they are now NLA.

there, fixed it.

 

yes thats normal especially with tired mounts, peugeot used to supply a spacer kit to reduce movement, there was also a stainless shim to reduce noise

I keep the proper shim kits

 

One on EBay at the moment am sure as well

youch. I will keep it in mind. I need to buy an actual engine mount first as mines shagged talking of which, virbatechnics or Bakerbm? bearing in mind its 300+hp

I would just space them with a penny washer or as above.

I was thinking this but didnt know if the original pug items had some sort of spring to them to reduce vibrations?

 

could maybe use a conical spring washer?

Just come as 6 metal shims, each a different thickness
