Found an old one, but it was likewise cracked, marginally better. I flipped it around and put it in for now. Called around the last two days, with Napa &amp; Carquest saying they found it, but when I actually went down they were nothing like my mounts. Decided to go the DIY way and reconstruct it using the gooey 3M Window Weld stuff. It&#8217;s a common &#8220;cheap&#8221; trick for filling in OEM mounts to stiffen them up. This stuff is a single part moisture cured polyurethane. I actually used this stuff on the front mount, but that mount was still good. This one I drilled &amp; sawed out all the rubber and am in the process of filling in entirely with the black goop. It&#8217;s not super cheap in Hawaii, a tube of this stuff at Napa is around $20. And once you open it, its done. You need to use it immediately, anything left over will quickly harden and never come out of tube. I just finished filling in the mount and theres about 2\/3 of the tube left. Oh well! Now to wait for it to cure, with this kind of thickness it&#8217;ll be a couple days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In working on the rally FX, discovered the rear engine mount in this condition.
