you can get them from

http://classicescortparts.com.au/ind...category_id=31

try here for one off the shelf

I should ask what you are using it for as they aren't that hard to fabricate if you are handing with a welder & grinder, mine took me under a day




cheers

the pros simply are they secure the motor a lot better than the standard unit limiting movement
the cons - they tend to vibrate the car a lot more, transferring the harshness as some put it thru the rest of the driveline

are they legal?? I am not expert on that apart from saying all the standard mounting points are used....no modification to body work etc
you would need someone very very switched on to even question one as they look like some standard fitment engine mounts
