Wanted-1986 Golf MT solid rubber Front Motor Mount

Does anyone know where I can purchase a solid rubber front engine mount for my
1986 A2, 8V, 1.8L, Golf with manual transmission. This is the mount next to
the radiator. I have been told that they are not available and I will have to
retro fit to another type of solid mount. The retro fit includes buying
another type of bracket as well as a different type of solid motor mount.

www.bowwow.ca if you can't find it on the web site ,then give them a call
they have been very good in the past.

I just changed all my mounts on my '86 GTI and did change the front one to
the newer style with the new bracket. I don't think they make the original
style any more. Probably because it was bad design. All new mounts made it
ride like a new car. (well, almost, still have some suspension work to do)

I found The Bus Depot had the best prices. www.busdepot.com I've bought
several things from them and they almost always have the best price and the
service is good too. Look for part numbers 191199279CSP for the rubber mount
and 191199273C for the bracket.

I just put all the engine mounts in my 86 golf 4 months ago I purchased all
the mounts from BSI racing in Florida .They have an online catalog with
pictures. They call it the heavy duty A2 mount kit. I bought all the mounts,
INCLUDING the solid rubber front mount. All diesels A2 have it . The right
engine mount and the trans mount. It was quite a deal. ALL three parts for
115 bucks, now they are 105 I think. I had previously put the hydraulic
mount in 5 years ago, and wanted it out of there, but didn't want to do it.
There are some vws that have the horizontal mount, which has been
superseded. If you have the mount with the bolts vertical, you're OK. there
a conversion kit, {bracket} which I think they have too, if you have the
horizontal bolt mount. I had an 85 with the old mount in it. The racing SCCA
guys wanted it because, the bolt went through the bracket and if you tore
the rubber out the bolt would still hold the engine in there. as it passed
through a tube. and they could finish a race. like on a rabbit. The new
mount doesn't do that. You got to change it pronto. but I never broke a
solid rubber one either.
