Yes their OEM Mike. All done now also changed the rear shock bottom buses with super pro to finish up the job nicely.
There is less vibration in the cab but also established somehow the vibrations from the engine are still having an affect even though the engine mounts were changed before?
Will have to investigate this more it may be as simple as part of the engine rubbing on the body or chassis?
As a recommendation I would suggest for UK models having all the bolts, nuts & washers as rust would most likely have them seized or worse.
Overall I’m happy with the work & garage. Their speedy with me lending a hand to finish it up within the day.
Nicely done Dervis, mine is in it's 26th year and the body vibrations are not enough to cause concern at the moment. Last year (or was it the year before?) I replaced both engine mounts and the exhaust mount in the search for a vibration that occurred at idle, it helped for sure. I also questioned the 'sound' of the engine speed at idle despite the revolution counter indicating it was as per spec. I went for a slightly faster idle which was about an extra 30 - 40 rpm IIRC and can confirm this definitely helped.
My 80 has always 'driven' nicely so any noises/vibrations are soon noticed, a recent couple I have come across is one under the front passenger seat, a wire running from left to right under the base of the seat was vibrating, and the other one was to the left side of the car, that turned out to be the lid of the ashtray, it rattles ever so slightly but enough to annoy me, the noise stops when the ashtray lid is left open, so I guess the spring under the lid has weakened? Need to look into that.
Again, thank you for the write up on body mount bush replacement, I am sure many will find it helpful.
EDIT: I just remembered a noise/vibration I had many years ago was from one of the rear heater pipes was touching the engine, someone had bypassed the heater due to the usual leaking issue found from rusting pipes, and their modification was touching the rear of the rocker cover IIRC? Something as simple as that can be difficult to find.
