They won't last at all. The cheap repro ones (where ever you get them) have a life expectancy measured in hours.
Go to Chris Witor, buy the proper ones and you'll be fine.

It aint necessarily so.

These are a brand new to the market item from a German supplier with a track record of producing quality items.

I do find these sweeping statements made about quality issues annoying.

[Alan Chatterton]

Fair enough, I hope these are better than the traditional repro ones we have all suffered with over the years.
If you have got a supply of good quality ones at a decent price, why don't you tell us?! Been lots of discussion on here and CT forum about engine mounts lasting one trip, but if we don't know about better ones........?
I would place an advert in SIXappeal and tell us all about these, I bet you would be inundated with orders!!!

Re repro engine mounts
As I was not sure if engine mounts were a problem, I opted for the cheap ones because of the massive price difference £14 opposed to £70
I have found Canley classic's to supply generally good quality parts.

Contrary to 'popular wisdom' , shortly after buying the estate we got some 'cheap' mounts from the brothers. 40k miles later they are still on the car going strong and HOE has never had a very pampered life with us.

You were so busted Alan, fancy forgetting Dave frequents this forum

£14 a pair seems like a steal Dave, is the cheapness hampering sales , are people going to assume they must be poor due to the price?

Also Dave, how are these German manufacturers with making big saloon gearbox mounts or are the engine mounts a more generic item that just happens to fit a big saloon?

Dave,

you are simply selling them too cheap - make them £40 each, and everyone will know that they are a quality item

[Alan Chatterton]

That's the mistake I made, too cheap to be any good.
Rack up the price Dave, after I've bought a few sets!!!
