Pendulum Mount

[Legojon]

So given the number of threads I flick through on a daily basis. I've seen an increasing number of failures around the pendulum mount. This concerns me, mainly cause I drive like a d!ck. I currently have the Vibratechnics holy trinity of: upper engine mount, gearbox mount and lower engine mount. The bottom of which looks like this:

So am considering getting something like this:

However, I've emailed Vibratechnics:
"Not sure what the benefit is. We have never seen a failure of the OEM pendulum. If The dimensions of the area that locates on the subframe mount are the same as stock it should fit."

Hmmm. I checked fitment with APR:
"Thanks for reaching out, the Pendulum mount should install without issue since it uses the same mounting location as the stock unit it replaces but we have not verified fitment with that exact unit. This may introduce some noise vibration harshness paired with your insert so just be aware of that."

I'm awaiting responses from 034 motorsport and a couple of resellers.

So, opening it up to the floor. Thoughts?

034 Motorsport:
"If the Vibratechnics mount is made to OEM specifications size and fitment wise (which it appears to be) then our Dogbone Mount will work fine. Which is to say if their mount will work with the factory pendulum arm that our Mount Arm replaces, then you're good to go."

That seems a little more helpful...

How about you try it and let me know haha

Yeah, pay day is next week. I'm going to order the APR. Now just need find somewhere to get it fitted. Amazing how few garages open on a Saturday!! I've already lost a shed load of time off work with the car. I think they think I'm making this stuff up. Tried to book R-tech yesterday and today, but no luck! Will try again during the week next week. Annoyingly the mount is only 3 bolts!! But I would assume the car needs to be flat and to get the dogbone bolt out, would be better on ramps than my driveway!
