The current thought is that rubber ages as well as being detrimentally affe=
cted by UV and environmental ozone. As such we are told not to use tires th=
at are over six years old. I think the same thing happens to other rubber p=
arts as well. I've installed rubber plugs and grommets on my BN1 that deter=
iorated with 6 months of installation. For that reason I won't buy "NOS" ru=
bber parts and I think any new rubber parts should be date coded.

Subject: [Healeys] Engine Mounts
The engine mounts on my BJ8--whose engine I am overhauling--had the
rubber part separating from their metal backing. This didn't surprise
me, as they have 25+ years and 120K+ miles on them. However, I got under
the BN2 the other day and noticed its mounts were separating as well,
and these only have a few years and a few hundred miles on them.
Apparently--like most rubber or rubber/metal parts from contemporary
suppliers--they are crap. Anyone know a source for quality, durable
engine mounts for Big Healeys?
TIA,
Bob
