Engine Mounts

[mulligan]

Could anyone tell me how to get hold of some METALASTIK-CUSHYFLOAT engine mounts,

Cheers

I have found out that they are Halyard Marine Aquadrive engine mounts. Could anyone tell me of a good alternative to my current Aquadrive mounts, I am looking at something which is will stand the test of time!

Regards

Metalastik Cushyfloat anti-vibration mounts are now marketed by:-
Trelleborg AVS, PO Box 98, Evington Valley Road,
Leicester LE5 5LY. Tel 0116 273 0281 Fax 0116 273 5698
Go direct, I have just bought 4 mounts for my Perkins Perama M20 for £25.89 ea. including VAT & P&P - I was quoted over £60 each from a Perkins agent... Trelleborg can offer them as Marine mounts with the stud and nuts for about £38 each, but I bought the standard Industrial type and re-fitted the existing studs & nuts onto the new mounts.
For information, the mounts were No. 17-1600-55 (55 being the Shore rubber hardness).

I also notice that Vetus sell mounts which look remarkably like the Metalastik/Trelleborg type at a similar price but this would have to be checked.

Have been doing my research as well, 7 years on! Volvo Penta MD22 is a Metalastik Cushyfloat with 45 stamped on the base plate which signifies a Shore Hardness of 45. Roys D22-55 Volvo Penta is the same. Will bell them tomoz to see how much they are now!
D2 - 55 part number = 846765
MD22 = 846765
Have used www.marinepartseurope.com to check the part numbers, I know the VP2030 engine mounts look the same but the part numbers are different. I would suggest to any VP20X0 engine owners to check the number stamped on the base pate and work out which one it is from this and the bolt centre measurement

[AV Industrial Products]

I work for a company called AV Industrial Products Ltd who specialise in Anti Vibration Mount, including a range of Marine Engine Mounts. They are based in Leicester the same as Metalastik and offer an equivalent range to Metalastik. One of the posts above mentioned Metalastik 17-1600 for around £30. AV Industrial Products identical product would be at least 50% cheaper.
Their website is www.avindustrialproducts.co.uk , or email address mail@avindustrialproducts.co.uk

Hope this helps andbody who is trying to find a reliable supply for your mounts

I did all this a few months ago and posted it, I found that the Vetus ones looked similar to mine but they didnt do a 45 shore hardness, I then found out that Robush are the main dealers for Trelleborg and sell them for a similar amount, one point to watch, as standard they have coarse thread and if your Volvo has fine threads you have to specify as such OR do as I did and recut the Volvo threads.
