Hi Dave,
Not sure how relevant this is but I have noticed that most rubber to =
steel bonding seems to start at the edges, particularly on original =
components.=20
I am inclined to believe that a large contributing factor in the steel =
to rubber bond is actually caused by corrosion of the steel.
Also usually it seems that the oxidation of the rubber is a quite thin =
layer and the underlying rubber is still in perfect condition although =
very old.
Of course this is not always the case as very deep cracks in the engine =
mount rubber blocks are not uncommon.=20
Just my observations.=20
Michael S=20
BN1 #174
With original BSF thread engine mounts..

Correct diagnosis is half of the repair.

The engine mounts on my BJ8--whose engine I am overhauling--had the=20
