Just one thing to check Dom is there a danger of wedging this to much as engine goes up aswell hence the bump stop underneath the metal bridging piece - so if it was wedged to hard it would prevent upwards travell.Or am i just going nuts! ________________________________________ time for a new sig! |

Just done mine, but could only force a piece of 2mm aluminium in there....the gap was only about 0.5mm.....did notice a slightly smoother change from 1st to 2nd gear which may have just been in my head, but other than that, no difference........spose mine must have been a good un anyway, or is it worth forcing a 2mm piece in the other side?  nwphoto has attached the following image: |

Justin you think too much  Upwards movement is unlikely and the mushroom thing is there more as a precaution |

I'm gonna have to do something like this...I've got a full set of gp n mounts on my 205, but the 306 top mounting arm still has loads of play.. What's the purpose of the bit that goes over the top of the mount?? Cheers ________________________________________ 205 gti6 |

My mounts look a lot like nwphoto's, very little gap between the chassis and the rubber buffer.Will chocking it still make a difference? ________________________________________ JJBlessed are the cheesemakers...and all purveyors of dairy products.... |

So Dom,If I find that the body under my mount is cracked, can any garage do the welding, or will they refuse to weld? Thanks mate, Stan. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Hmm, I've had two Rallyes and the gap between the mount and body have been minimal. Are you sure you lot have the correct insulators?Oh, and to cure the problem completely - stop being boy racers racing away from traffic lights in first!  |
