<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Whenever I need rubber bushes, rings,
grommets I get industrial quality as much as possible. Last much
longer and you have a choice in materials fit for the purpose.<br>
However it is not always easy to get hold of them as you usually
have to buy from a wholesale dealer who often requires that you
buy from them through a retailer or in large quantities.<br>

<p>"Rubber" means different things these days. Hi quality natural
rubber, as used in our cars originally, will last many years.
Now, rubber can come from many sources, some better than
others. In my experience, I installed a lower windshield seal
and a year later it cracked. Installed a replacement and it has
held up for 15 years. So, quality matters; buy from
knowledgeable dealers, they should know.</p>

<p>The current thought is that rubber ages as well as being
detrimentally affected by UV and environmental ozone. As
such we are told not to use tires that are over six years
old. I think the same thing happens to other rubber parts
as well. I've installed rubber plugs and grommets on my
BN1 that deteriorated with 6 months of installation. For
that reason I won't buy "NOS" rubber parts and I think any
new rubber parts should be date coded.</p>

<div class="PlainText">The engine mounts on my BJ8--whose
engine I am overhauling--had the <br>
rubber part separating from their metal backing. This
didn't surprise <br>
me, as they have 25+ years and 120K+ miles on them. However,
I got under <br>
the BN2 the other day and noticed its mounts were separating
as well, <br>
and these only have a few years and a few hundred miles on
them. <br>
Apparently--like most rubber or rubber/metal parts from
contemporary <br>
suppliers--they are crap. Anyone know a source for quality,
durable <br>
engine mounts for Big Healeys?<br>
