I have ordered a set and will report back once I have fitted them and put some K's on them. Turns out the run a Mackay s197 bush, which is a 24mmOD and ~12mm ID.

Inital impressions: very good quality and finish, they are shipped in a nice little plastic tub and have generic install instructions including torque specs.Some pics:and installedImpressions after first drive are very very good. The car feels alot more "connected" and shifts at high RPM are easier as the box and engine aren't squirming around under the gear stick.(heat shield went back on after the photo was taken)No noticeable increase in vibration at low speed or under load, only when reversing up my drive way. The vibration feels like an exhaust touching the body type vibration but only very minor. I will need to check that it isn't actually the exhaust touching somewhere as the exhaust was fitted with the previous Kaput mounts.Will report back once I have put a few weeks/km's on them! 5 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82620-aftermarket-billet-engine-mounts/#findComment-1321524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see these becomming a common upgrade.
