I noticed that they didn't list Patrols either. Can you post the estimate back here when you hear back?

You can still get the rear mounts brand new from Nissan I believe. I have a brand new set on my shelf right now. It's just the front one that are not readily available. Just food for thought.

Justin-

I tried to get the new rear mounts from the nissan parts website you directed me to, and they said "out of stock" :(

Huh. I can't remember when it was I got those. Maybe they are no longer available. :doh:

I've lost track. Am I supposed to be looking for a mount still? :confusion-confused: If so, give me a few days - I'm in the middle of something right now.
Beyond any hope for intervention

Well, I'm hoping that the place linked about the motor mounts would get back to us before you had to go rummaging around in boxes - if that's the case, I can have them rebuilt.

If that falls through, I may be sending you a PM. Thanks for checking!

All-

I just spoke again to Ted at Then and Now automotive-

I'm sending him all 4 of my mounts so they can measure them and set up the jig -

They have to see, and measure the mounts in order to quote a per-unit price for the rebuild, so I am eating the up front shipping costs to allow this analysis. The trade off is that the rest of you will have to wait a couple more weeks for the price quote :?

I'll remove mine from the Patrol tomorrow after work (blazing 115 degree temperatures be damned :twisted: ), and will ship them off to them on Thursday. Ted said it would take them a week or so to figure out the unit cost, and to turn them back around.

More info to come, hopefully early next week.

I have an update from Then and Now automotive... They received my engine mounts, and Ted called me this morning to discuss...

Yes, they can rebuild them, but they have to set up the jig and molding process, and this process is going to take several months :|

The good news is that once mine are completed, they will be able to do anyone else's with about a one-week turnaround.

So anyone that can wait until about Thanksgiving will be able to get their engine mounts refurbished... :dance:

Cost will be about $85 per mount.
