I took Ben's info and made the passenger side mount the other day, that stuff kicks butt! Looks to be pretty solid, we'll see.
Tuned200 has the ES mounts but he used them in his 1.6 car, so we'd have to unpress that mount and re-press it in, fugggadaboutit....
Anyways I'll try and get a pic but it wasn't even messy!

So Ben is that the stuff you have in the NX mounts? I was looking at the motor mounts the other day and noticed they where filled in.

Its a liquid poly and hardener from McMasterCarr I think or something like that, I'll have to find the info again - Ben had a whole big post on it a while back.
The passenger mount has that whole and slope in it, I filled the whole thing and made it level looks damn good too...
I'll have brian post how it feels (the ES/Liquid combo)

focus you have 3M window weld mounts. 3M weld is good to repair torn mounts only really. I found in the NX it didn't really help much. The 94 shore urethane from McMaster-Carr is much better for a racing mount application.
Here is my recommendation- for repair torn/worn motor mounts, 3M weld is a good choice if you vibrations scare you to death. If you want "racing" mounts as an alternative to ES inserts, JWT or PR mounts, with torn/worn mounts or not, use the 94 shore urethane.
To add to this, I do recommend the 94 shore over the ES, JWT, and PR mounts.
They are better than the ES mounts because:
1. $24.04 for all 4 is a bit cheaper than all 4 for ES's stuff. You could do at least 2 sets of mounts if not 3 or 4. It's been a while since I used the stuff to remember how much was left, but I don't think I even used half of what comes for $24.04 on all 4 mounts.
2. It is MUCH easier to install. Remove mounts, duct tape or plastic wrap or whatever one side of the mount to hold the urethane in while it's liquid, pour, let cure.
They are better than the JWT and ES mounts because:
1. $24.04 is TONS cheaper than the $250 of whatever these guys charge. And again, you can do many sets of mounts in 1 pop if you wish, so multiply that savings if you do several mounts.
Just go to www.mcmaster.com , type in part number 8644K18, and order it. You will need to use duct tape or plastc wrap on one side of your mounts because this stuff pours. Just mix up the two ingredients and pour. They will be ready to install the next morning. The 3M stuff (with no ovening) takes many days to full harden.
