Damn. My new custom urethane engine mounts have failed spectacularly. Is this the point at which the equation (Horsepower = Money) becomes a painful truth?

I'll have one more go at them- this time I'll cast them into a sensible shape that can take the load, rather than just relying on sheer mass of urethane.

Dont make an effort on my account... urethra is one of my favourite words. And places.

When at first you don't succeed...get a bigger hammer.

Unfortunately it's more like the hammer's too big and keeps breaking its handle.

Time for a bigger handle.

I would try ripping out all the rubber then fitting the space with something like a large urethane body mount or leaf spring eye bushing trimmed to press- fit. Depending on the I.D and O.D. needed, a pair of inline skate tires can be used, especially if there is a hollowed out area in the rubber where it can be contained, along with a large washer on the outside. I've done the latter with success in what was supposed to be a temporary fix, it worked so well and lasted forever.

I had cast my own urethane, but one mount was offcentre and experienced too much load. It failed first, and the second mount wasnt up to the job on its own.

I might actually go see what the parts store has in stock.
