Engine/Transmission Mounts

[ajmr2]

Greetings. I remember a discussion about engine mounts on this formum a while ago but can't locate it. Must have been under a different title name. Anyway, can anyone who knows for sure please clarify the rule concerning poly mounts? I reread the GCR IT rules several times and can't find anything about it one way or the other.
Thanks.

If it doesn't say you can, you can't. All drivetrain mounts must remain OEM. Yes, the discussion to allow alternate mounts did come up, but the CRB did not approve it.

This is going to sound like nitpicking but what if you leave your OEM mounts in but just add inserts. Does that actually break the letter of the regs?

In other words, the IT rules must ALLOW you to do something for it to be legal, not place limits on an otherwise open ended list. This is one of the biggest mental hurdels people need to clear to understand IT. An allowance might not always the cheapest, most effective, or most logical for a specific facet of a specific car. But the rules are equal in that same way. yeah - it DOES mean that some cars are "better" than others and that itsn't accounted for, but that's kinda how it is in any class when the dust settles out. that or constant mucking with the classifications which is equally frustrating.

Everyone needs to read the beginning of the rules. Clearly states that the only things that are allowed are what is listed. If you don't 'see' it, it ain't legal.

Oh, no. Here we go again.
