Ok so a quick little right up before i go into work.
Noticed theres not alot of comparative info for the vibra hardwear.
So construction wise the mount still fix's to the body the same but where the mount fixes to the engine bracket the threads been enlargened.

So im unsure what vibra expect you to do with the engine buffers etc as these bushes are so stiff i dare say you could get away with not using them. But decided best not change up too much and drilled the buffer to suit the mount

Now with this the nut that tightened up onto the mount and centralised it with the insert is redundant. Im not sure if this is intentional of vibra as theres some slop between the thread and mount bracket. All they supply is a nylon lock nut and washer :/ this also brings me to the last piece of redundant hardwear, the "anti lift" buffer. Again im sure it isnt needed but for peace of mind im taking it into work to drill and tap it larger. Not sure if theres enough meat to do it but shall find out.

Gear box mount is a nice simple fit. New design does away with the need for the tube insert
they also supply you with two new 17mm nuts that insert into the bush to centralise it to the body work. Found it a little bit of a pig to fit as needed to use a podge bar to push the bush in the correct spot to screw the inserts down but all in all not bad

Managed to get one of the wishbones on to and now taking a coilover to work to lathe the bushing i require. Also gonna make a tool up tonight so i can pull the lower bush in without removing the bracket and finally gonna weld the stud conversion into my spacers after finding one of the threads was pulling out.
Fairly productive day. Time for a 12hr night shift [VICTORY HAND]
