I am loosing the plot!
I had located the mounting blocks required for my 4108. I tucked the info away as I didn't need them at that time. I'm
sure that they were available from ASAP and that a kind forumite gave me the link.
I have been through the ASAP site with no luck. I have trawled my own threads looking for the link.
The front mounts are angled rubber sandwich but the back mount is a single 'transverse' rubber cylinder fitted right at the back of the TMP
box. I may have to take that box out in the future and want to have a new mount available.
Any pointers very welcome.
Thanks
 
The bushings in the rear mount are the same as the bushings that transmit the drive from the flywheel into the gearbox.

They are the same dimensions except they are a little long, so I trimmed them down by mounting them in a lathe, but you could cut them with a hacksaw if you were careful. Once you've shortened them, you push a pair into the steel 'tube' of the rear mount with a vice.

The bushings themselves are available from TMP.

Sadly I haven't been able to find a direct replacement for the fronts.

The front ones on mine are as sold by parts4engines under 4108 lowline mounts, the rear rubber looks the same though the fitting (not for sale) they show it in is not quite like mine.100_5617-001.JPG100_5623.JPGI've just attached two photos. The rear mount area looks really rusty ( it can only be seen using a mirror) and also doesn't seem very substantial.

ASAP say they do not stock these parts and the parts4engines is not the site that I recently was directed to. I'm still searching and still hoping that the kind person who gave me the link sees this and feels kind again!!
 
Thanks guys.
Vibration Isolations rectangular rubbers look to be exactly right and both companies have a range of bush type rubbers that may do the trick. I guess I would have to remove and check size and construction. Parts4engines sell identical front rubbers and what looks like the correct rear bobbin which I guess is not the bush type as I stated above but pushes into a tube on the mount.
I am going to order a set so as to have them 'on hand' rather than loosing the plot again!
