I removed my poly mounts a few years back as I couldnt stand the vibrations from them.
I had the idea to add additional holes to reduce vibration and make them as close to oem feel as possible due to it being hard to find replacement oem mounts anymore.
I contacted powerflex about doing this and they saw no issue with it as long as I didn't remove so much material that could cause it to fail.
I had a go today on just 1 mount to begin with. As you can see, it's a little rough, but at the moment it is a proof of concept to see if it works.
I tried to keep the the voids in the mount as similar to stock position as I could.
First test seems promising. No extra vibration and felt the same as my sikaflex filled oem mount.
I have only done the drivers side mount so far as if it all went wrong I would only need to replace 1 mount insert rather than 3.
I will leave it on the car for a while and see how it is longer term. I will then replace the other mounts 1 by 1 and hopefully have a full set of oem feel poly mounts.
I will keep everyone posted..............
