What you been doing!!!!!!!!!!!

The dirty little slaaaaaag

how long they been in for?

[DanThe]

Used them for a couple of years on my M50B25, they were fine when fitted to the chromie with the 2.8 but I noticed the drivers side started to crack/craze which I assumed was from the heat being close to the exhaust, so the manifolds were wrapped. The drivers side seemed to deteriorate quickly with the 2.8 (240hp) so when I fitted the alpina after 3,000 miles of running the 2.8 I didnt use it again but the passenger side was still good, ive done about 1,000 miles with it and its now in two pieces

AKG mounts will be going on now...

[shaun_89]

Which akg mounts are the best? Would the solid metal ones be far too harsh?

[craigieeb]

Are you going for the polly ones or the Alloy ones?

Wouldnt mind going down the alloy mount route my self,
engine/gearbox/diff

but then the only weak link would be the centre bearing on the prop

A must see for anyone doing the M5x swaps then

[e30-EVN]

Agreed ^

Its not about having that happen

[ross_jsy]

AKG do specific ones for m5x and s5x swaps with a special angle and IIRC group N grade poly. I have a set.

Expensive mind. Think I paid around $200 but well worth it.

[nickso]

i have them too. been fitted a year and not moved a millimetre in the relatively small 2k that i have done.
