Aha I have seen.
I was looking ideally for a pair (gearbox and top mount)

Dare I ask why you want solid ones? Don't like your teeth staying in your face? Lol

Only thing I will say is we took the engine out of a mates rallye a couple f years ago and where he had solid mounts it had cracked the chassis around the top mount (which isn't unusual at all) but also cracked it all around the gearbox mount as well.... Ended up welding a big plate over it to strengthen up.
I've got group N mounts all round and a heavily chocked up top mount and it still vibrates through the car quite a bit but not too bad and there's still a little give in the engine.
