MKIV mounts op een 7M

To all the people asking about replacing the 89+ engine mounts (Toyota calls them insulators) here is the economical solution. Many people are already using these 98 TT mounts and enough has been said on the forums about these. However I still see threads all the time about people asking what to do. The mounts are the same height and width, however they have an extra locating pin on the bottom. The 89+ rubber mounts do not have this pin (only one at the top). This pin needs to be ground off in order for the mount to properly seat in the subframe on the car. THe bolt that mounts into the bracket on the engine is slightly smaller but that's not a big deal. Piece of cake !!!

New 98 TT mount (Insulator), you can clearly see the part number, 12360-46111:
