As many of you know when you remove the front cross member to change engine mounts the 4 rubber bushing are pretty much history. Having have/ had a half dozen car with these bushings I finally decided to do something about it. I made an epoxy molds and cast a set 2 piece urethane bushing at my friend urethane manufacturing shop. I've installed a set in the ZX2 which got rid of an annoying clunking sound and threw the other set in the box of parts to be installed on the MX-3. Unfortunately my companies urethane division and my friend are not interested in producing these bushing is any greater qty than I can use myself.

Those have nothing to do with suspension.

Well, engine suspension, I guess... but not CAR suspension.

Would you be willing to sell the 2 piece mold? It is easy enough to mix and pour urethane. I'd make them and sell them on here.
