Get in touch with Andy (Spondon 666) or Maz both on here, the one's Andy makes are top quality and stronger than the forth bridge. There may be away of getting it to or close to you (via beggarpost) as a fair few of us mainlanders will be visiting N Ireland soon. :idea: good luck :yup:

I have these mounts in stock but dont mail order.

.....like I said in another thread, parts are becoming very painful to get hold of.....I'm still witing on parts ordered Nov. 9th last year :headbang:

I got one for my XB12X from Black Bear a few months ago, it took ten days to get and cost a little over £100 with postage.
Mine never actually failed but when Iwent to drop the engine forward to do the oil pump drive it was seized.
The rubber bushing was solid on the bolt and after hours of trying I decided the only way was to rip it out with an air gun as there seemed to be no other way

Yeah, I see that quite a lot but even worse is when the frame insert is seized to the bolt and comes undone outta the frame :headbang:
