54 Nash Metropolitian.Its a sandwich type mount.Replacement not available from anywhere I've tried so faced with having to get the old ones stuck back together.Remember seeing this service advertised by someone in TeRapa years ago.Any suggestions appreciated.
You used to be able to buy a mix kit to make up your own liquid polyurethane stuff which hardened so you could make custom mounts, I am 99% sure that it was from Nolathane but I had a quick look on there website and did not see it though but it may be worth looking into.

Thanks guys.Tyresavers was the one I was trying to remember.On the phone tomorrow and see what i can find.Just wondering what would happen if I got hold of some good urethane (wurth, sika etcmaybe!) and stuck them back together myself.The existing rubber looks fine - its just come unstuck from the plates.Worst that could happen is they fall apart again!

we used to use ring-gear recovery, or ling lay! engineering down fielding way. they did an entire t-bird for a customer of mine - engine, gearbox, and body mounts.
plus used to do custom made ones for a couple of rally cars for us.

I have used that strong black Sika-flex for repairing a few circle type engine mounts in my time like Bluebird and Primera top L/H ones for my self of course and they seemed to work well enough for a standard road car

Someone like Ludowicis (now Ceelon in Onehunga) will do it in urethane unless you are happy making a quick mould & pouring it yourself (rememeber prep both surfaces & allow for a bit of shrinkage)

I have stuck torn mounts back together with windscreen grade urethane. Seemed to last ok, it was on my own car and the motor stayed in there.

That would be my "No8 Wire" suggestion too.

Pretty strong stuff, especially if it has a decent contact area.

Lon Lagon Engineering I think they are at Aokautre not sure about the spelling just out of Palmerston North.They did an exelent job on my mk1 zephyr mounts.Might also be worth trying www.basisnz.co.nz
I have used a 2 pot Urethane rubber product. Devcon. Flexane 80 liquid.
I got it from Blackwoods/Paykels
