Should I replace these engine mounts?

Poly mounts are fine if you drive the car but if you spend a lot of time sat in traffic then the bit of vibration you get at tick over is likely to become irritating

I think they might be the solution then as my 940 is purely for fun.

Yeah time to change. Go through all of them and change everything once.

Being in Portugal I do not think that TS will buy his parts in the UK, since it a terrible hassle to get your stuff through UK customs since Brexit. Luckily there are plenty of suppliers available outside the UK, especially in The Netherlands, Germany and Sweden. I am sure that Salvador will know where to find them using p/n 1378657.
Do not expect a hugh difference though; I changed the mounts on my 940LPT after 500K km and I could hardly feel any improvement, if at all. Either the aftermarket stuff is of lower quality or the OEM ones just last very long.

Apparently 2wd Sierra Cosworth engine mounts fit. They look very similar.

Definitely don't want poly or hockey puck mounts for the road.

Where did you hear this? Anyone tried them?

Anyone have any other suggestions? Seems like only junky PPS mounts are available now. I can't believe that there is such difficulty getting decent engine mounts for these cars now. It's not like they are so rare and obscure...

They do fit, except I am running the Vibra-Technics FOR173M 2WD Cosworth mounts.

Great mounts, measures 80mm in height, which was the same as the stock ones I took out - Only had to cut both studs down to 20mm.

Took a bit to bed in and soften up, but perfect once they are. Do feel the clutch more when I'm riding it (may be more noticeable with my TTV flywheel), and perhaps the smallest of vibrations at idle, but I don't even notice it!

Great info thank you. So you cut both top and bottom studs down to 20mm and they are then a direct fit?

Exactly that!

They might feel a little harsh at first, but they'll bed in fully after a few hundred miles

Brill thank you
