dog bone mounts?

Its the one that stabilizes the engine "rock" and basically connects the engine to the chassis.
For £15 you will not believe the difference this will make, moving from a sloppy 10p OEM mount to a nice firm stable polyurethane mount. In the cupra it aids in reducing wheel hop, i.e wheel sping and loss of power applied.

No not really fella, just support the engine with a jack, undo 4 bolts, and the actual mount itself comes off, you then undo a tensioning bolt on the mount, swap over the blocks of material and replace all as you found it.
Now be careful as these bolts are "stretch bolts", i personally didnt buy any more, and just torqued them up to the required settings.
Have a fish using the search thingy at the top of this page, and you'll find a guide i think.

will give you the settings needed. All in all, first attempt at this will take you, half an hour to an hour?

The powerflex mount that forge do does give the odd bit of cabin vibrations but seen as your the only one that knows it there and there for a good reason - id say it does a bloody good job for under £20. Just be sure to put plenty of the copper grease that coems with it around bothe parts.
