2 / 3 hole engine mount

Postby al pushpak » Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:49 am

Hi, after dropping my engine out yesterday to have some welding done on the frame I noticed that the kickstart side mount rubber had started to come away from the outer metal sleeve, its only been in for a couple of hundred miles!, this was one of a pair where the other mount had done the same (even before i'd fitted the engine after a rebuild) I put it down to a one off bad manufacture which in the first instance I contacted the dealer who supplied them & sent photos & they replaced no problem, I contacted the dealer again yesterday regarding this one & sent photos again, & I was asked if I had fitted it correctly, which I had as per stickys manual, the guy I spoke to was helpful & explained he had to gather some information before putting to his boss, so I'm awaiting a response on this today hopefully, so getting to my question & I hope it doesn't sound to daft but could you fit a 2 hole mount on the kickstart side & have a 3 hole on the other? I have a spare unused 2 hole mount & it just got me thinking! thanks for any info to my long winded post ! ;)

I use this on the kickstart side and an ordinary SIL one on the other.http://www.afrayspeed.co.uk/index.php?p ... tributeID=

I have a pair of the allegedly 'hard' Scootopia mounts on the shelf and I did wonder if there might be some mileage in putting one of those in the KS side and one of the softer UNI ones in the flywheel side.

Ross, did you try this and, if so, what was the result?
