f**king none of them. Went to both Repco & Bursons today, even had Bursons engine mount rep come down & none of them could supply a solid centre. He even argued that I dont need a solid centre :roll: Back to Meek.
Call mackay or kelpro they have a tech line and ask them for they make what you are after and you'll get it that day.

I did & they dont.

However, news just at hand, as we know Ralliart Oceania has now folded, and they were the ones supplying Meek.

Mitsubishi has now taken up the Ralliart parts line & badged them as their own. So both lower solid mounts are available thru Mitsu.

I paid $110 for the both of them.

Hey guys,
just wondering if if this mount will be compatible?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2002-MITSU ... 415wt_1163

The part number is correct at "MR131296" however it looks different.

I purchased the rear mount from TransGold and that arrived fine, however I really don't want to deal with their customer support people. The lady I spoke to was extremely rude and unorganised, I'd rather order it straight on-line and have it delivered to my house :)

Hey guys,
so I got the front mount delivered from that shop however I noticed it's exactly the same size as the rear mount:

(front on left, rear on right)

The part number is MR131296 indicating that it's the front mount. I got the rear mount from TransGold.

Will it work with these mounts? Or does the front one need to be bigger?

No! Front mount is larger. Repco have them as it's a common part.

So did the seller on eBay send me the wrong part then?

No clue. Because the FTO doesn't really cross reference with anything else which makes it hard.

The Lancer/Mirage mounts I'm pretty sure the front mount is larger than the rear one. But the mirage we have is different to the model in america.

Just go to Repco it's only about 80 bucks.

The part listed on the eBay seller is MR131296 which according to the post in a previous page, is the exact mount needed for the front mount FTO.

Should I ask for a refund?

Whats the Diameter of the side mounts?

Ok, so I found a side mount that fits today :lol: Turns out its a Ralliart product, the same as an Evo 7-9 top mount. Made from HS90 hardness rubber, its significantly stiff than the old mount.

Mitsubishi part number MN580217. Price was $71.50. Yes it will fit both the gearbox side mount as well.
