Vibra Technics Front Engine Mount
This is a considerably more advanced mount than the standard Caterham part. It features a much greater useable rubber volume for absorbing vibration energy without increasing engine movement. It also has a more effective rebound (failsafe) feature which limits upward movement as a result of extreme torque reaction or engine bounce. The base flange is 3mm thick as opposed to the original 2.4mm flange.
The greater load bearing rubber section gives considerably better vibration isolation over the OEM part as well as improved durability. In every way this is a superior engine mount.
Note. This mount is 3.5mm taller than the OEM part when installed. You should check clearances between the engine and bodywork before fitting.
The engine bracket must be at least 19mm diameter where it fits around the top bolt of the mount (see photo).
Price is for a single mount. Two are required for a car set.
Note, Fits pre metric chassis only (up to 2007)

It was realized in the early 1990's that there were some fast and expensive sports cars being built with fairly crude engine mountings and that little was available for the specialist car manufacturer when it came to a design and supply service for small numbers of engine mounting systems. Vibra-Technics Automotive was originally established to fill that gap. Subsequently racing and fast road saloon car mounts were developed for a variety of makes and this has grown the business to where Vibra-Technics are offering over 75 specific products for high performance cars with another 18 general products which can be used in a variety of applications from ATV's to V8 engined kit cars.
Vibra-Technics products are manufactured primarily from natural rubber compounds and occasionally from blends of synthetic and natural rubber to give particular properties for specific applications. Extensive experience and testing in all kinds of environmental conditions by Automobile Manufacturers has shown that only natural rubber compounds give optimum performance and durability (which is why it is still universally used today by every car manufacturer). Where the rubber needs to be attached to metal components, this is achieved by chemically bonding the rubber to the metal during the molding process, using the latest chemical adhesive systems.
