There is a polybush item available from Eliseparts which replaces the whole lot. It isn't cheap though at nearly £240.

Hello CJJ Interesting to know that but really very expensive.

David Meaning it should not be sideways movement do u mean the movement
like the red arrows in the following picture?
Bc I have the feeling that the bushes inside the bracket are gone and they allow this movement.



This Π Bracket was not on mine and i think i need to put it for security maybe it helps to prevent
the rubber mount from braking again and i dont know if it was just un update on the MGTF or should be there in orginal condition of the MGF. Nevermind Anyway it looks to be important
I have the feeling that Generally this engine mount have to fight with more weight and movement thatn the other one from the other side (uk passender side)

Alex,
yes movement in the direction of the red arrows would mean worn bushes.

I believe the wire loop (no. 27) is just an additional safety device to catch the mounting if it breaks. i don't think it prevents wear in any way.

It may be possible to get a second hand mount from a car breaker.

Alex, also check the tightness of the two bolts No 9 in the picture, a friend had both of these bolts shear off allowing the engine to move backwards and forwards on the mounting.

Hello Bryan,
Thank you for the info. I ordered now one rubber mount from Uk.
Is good to now what u say bc this part is from aluminium and can easily loose his form
so i will tighten the bolts

I also have checkes this here
