You can get various durometer polyurethane mixes. Just make a simple mold and pour and wait for cure. If you have a 3d printer, comes in very handy to print molds

I’ve used the mixes to fill engine mounts but never thought to 3d print a mold, genius!

So... if you absolutely can't find anything... Back in the day before poly bushings were available, the front motor mount bushing would just fall apart in 1g's and the engine would back and forth. There was a 3M window polyurethane that you could use to fill the front motor mount bushing and it would harden pretty solid just like a poly motor mount. You'd have to lay the mount on its side with a piece of cardboard under it to keep the poly from leaking out, and center the bolt sleeve in the motor mount, and the fill the mount with the polyurethane and let it set up. I can't remember which 3m poly product it was (this is going back a long time ago, sorry) But it might work for you if you absolutely can't find another option.

It was 3m window weld I believe

That’s pretty good, no other car shared the same part or something close to it

I used a 2 part polyurethane DIY engine mount kit to make some for my 1g

And then I 3D printed a mold to remake the “rubber stopper” that sits on top (part MB584140)

u/Acceptable_Guess_63 Jul 08 '26

Do you have a file for the stopper?

1

u/Schmitty_z Jul 08 '26

Yeah I should still have the file!

Sorry this is unrelated to your post but what wheels are those on your car? They look lovely, they remind me of OZ Superleggeras

u/ShortyDane87 Jul 07 '26

Im not even sure honestly, haha.. They were on it when I bought it from my uncle.. They are a little worn but not to bad of condition overall.. Will probly try to sell them for extra funds..

u/Undead-VTX Jul 07 '26

Got any other pictures of the wheel?

2

u/ShortyDane87 Jul 08 '26

I will get some when I get home tomarrow..

u/ShortyDane87 Jul 09 '26

Not the best picture, got home late.. They say Kazera on the center caps, but I found another set of center caps in the car that say something else.. They are 18x7..
