Get solid. Removes any change (ish) of movement and fretting/rubbing of paint from bodywork and flipy front. Think their cheaper from mini spares than them polys too.

solid ones with a flipfront, i wouldnt consider anything else personally.

oh yeh so you did just wasnt sure if i could have used poly duplex thanks again

[stef]

cool, you can but its not worth it. solid is better.

oh, and NEVER use solid engine mounts, ever.

exceedingly bad for anything apart from competition so ive heard.

oh, and NEVER use solid engine mounts, ever.

Always wondered about that. If their so bad why dose KAD sell them?

[stef]

competition/race minis?

thing is i dunno why its bad for the road, but good for competition. thats what ive heard anyway.

That just makes no sense to me. I know race cars take a C**p load more of a beating but why are they good for them and not for road.

The mind, she boggles so.

[busa1999]

cause race tracks are nice and smooth and flat (generally) not riddled with pot holes and speed bumps like our lovely roads !!!

[Retro_10s]

and race miglias etc are generally taken a bit more care of than the standard mini on the road that needs welding!

[ministudio2]

i ask a bloke for mini speed and he told me to use ponly mounts as the roads are too harse for solid mounts and could crack foor ect ??
