New Motor Mount Options Update
have faith...people do have their own lives to worry about besides some motor mount testing.
I'm sure if it's all working dandy then you'd have responses up the ass. So maybe he's troubleshooting or something.
Point is. just gotta cross ur fingers an hope for the best. Which usually works LOL

I think the company making the mounts made the 3g TL mounts first and are testing those. So the CL mounts probably have yet to be made. Ruf is still posting here, just not giving us updates.
Keep faith, lets not rush it. Thats when things dont come out correctly or at all.

Sorry, I knew there wouldn't be any updates for a few weeks so I've been lurking else where. Anyway, I called to see what's going on and got their voice mail, so probably out for the holiday. I'll give them another call this week if I don't hear back.

yes i was thinking that i had bad front mount i have six speed and u can feel it in the traffic that the engine is wobbling and car also... then while i was replacing a clutch i took of the engine frame and i look at the front mount closer and i saw the rubber was broken and was leaking the fluid

sigh . . . more good news-bad news.
The bad news is those that really need mounts now will have to wait some more or do something temporary. Sorry, wish there was better news.
For the rest of us, here's the exact quote I just got today.
"Mounts were installed on the car at the fabricator's shop; they have had to make one or two changes so I'm waiting to hear back from them. I want them to be as best as they can be before I start sending them out."
For those needing something now, there are 2 or possibly 3 options.
1) Replace with an OEM mounts . . yes, a waste of money but if yours are completely ruined you will have to do something.
2) If they're not totally ruined, then you can go with the poly filled solution. This is a good and cheap alternative.
3) For those that want to risk going with just an Innovative front mount, this works . . . assuming it's the 3rd gen mount like the one I have. I installed the 3rd gen back in October of 2008 and it's still holding up.
That said, they'd need to be cheaper than OEM options . . .
My 2cents is that I won't give Innovative any business again as they left us high and dry with a product that didn't work . . .
Bottom line is that we're looking at another 2 weeks or more depending on how the 2 changes pan out.

Thanks! I appreciate your efforts Ruf, and will definitely be trying to hold out as mine are not GONE yet.
Do we know if the company will be producing replacements for all the mounts? or just the more common front and passenger side ones? Those are what I need, but I just assume replace everything at the same time and with the same brand.
as far as poly fill back in the day 3m window weld was going around its what i did and its been in my front rear and side mount for like 5 years some auto parts stores carry it ... its like 11$ a tube
well . . getting closer . . the final pre-production units are close to being sent to the vendor . . I'm guessing that means they've passed the manufacturer's testing . . we should be the first to know.

Great news! I've still been able to hold out!
. Any chance if you know if they will have ll the mounts available, or just specific? My mecanic recommended the front and passenger side, but I want to do them all if possible.

The plan was to offer different stiffness . . . I'll check next week to see if that is still the plan . . we also asked for a radius rod bushing, but no feed back on that either . . this'll give me something to ping them about next week.

Yo Mike . . . where've you been lurkin'?
Yeah, sort of. The test mounts are being sent to the vendor. The vendor is working on locking in on a suitable test car. If one isn't found soon it's possible that set will be sent to me. If it turns out that way I will let everyone know. And sorry, it's my understanding that there are only a couple . . so no extras for any of us.
Anyway, things are still moving forward so
that we get a solid product this time.
