For those interested, we have found a major weakness of the Magna is the front engine mount breaks due to wheel hopping which is not hard to do with hard take offs btoh auto and manuels.

RPW is now making Polyurethane front engine mount bushes and side bushes as well if you want to go that far for the magna vehicles.

We are going to be providing exchange mounts so that you don't have to send us yours and they retail for $176.00 per engine mount.

This will reduce wheel hop by being structurally stronger, help improve traction and reduce engine movement thereby saving the other engine mounts from being damaged.

I recomend this for every magna not just modified ones as this is a factory weak point in th vehicle.

sounds good definantily interested, if we are? should we just call RPW? or contact Aussie magna??

What about the other mounts, i had to have a new mount fitted when my clutch was fitted, cause they broke it somehow! (Another Story)
should you change all at the same time??

And is it a good idea to have a Polyurethane mount in the front while the others are stockas rubber???

Thanks again dave

You can just do one enign emount as the setup on the magna's are quite good with the main front engine mount actually taking a lot of load and the two side engine mounts already a form of solid bushing already.

I would not do themain gearbox mount as that is already a fairly solid one already - but the two side mounts would also be a good upgrade but I woudl sugges doing the main one first and then slowly working throught he rest.

Yes you can get them through aussie magna no problems.

Photos i will arrange soon as well.
