FAQ Monday - How Not To Set Up Your Isolastic Mounts

It's a question we're often asked when setting up your isolastics mount as sometimes it doesn't fit.....it's usually a very easy fix, in this weeks FAQ Monday Ash talks you through how to not set up your isolastic mount. 0:00 Introduction Social Simon introduces the FAQ Monday topic: Isolastic Mounts. 0:17 Isolastic System Overview - The Isolastic system is designed to allow the engine/gearbox to move relative to the frame. 0:27 The Three Main Errors - Highlighting the three most common fitting mistakes. 0:38 Error 1: Missing or Incorrect Shims The most common mistake is forgetting to fit shims or using shims of the wrong size. 0:50 Demonstration of Missing Shims - Shows what happens when shims are not used: the rubber element is over-compressed, leading to rapid failure and metal-to-metal contact. 1:03 The Danger of Over-Compression - Over-tightening the bolt without shims crushes the rubber and defeats the purpose of the isolation. 1:12 Error 2: Using the Wrong Bolt - The bolt that holds the unit together should be 06.2750 (for Commando Mk1/Mk2) or 06.4172 (for Mk3). The wrong length will bottom out. 1:27 Error 3: Incorrect Bolt Tightening - The bolt should be tightened to 25 ft-lbs. Over-tightening can crush the metal tubes inside the rubber, causing rapid failure. 1:40 Summary of Correct Fitting - Reminder to use the correct shims, the correct bolt, and the correct torque setting (25 ft-lbs). 1:49 Outro/Call to Action - Encourages viewers to buy genuine parts and subscribe for more FAQs. 1:59 Contact Information - Andover Norton website/contact details.
