Default ES torque mount inserts: sold individually???

I will have the Hasport hydro/cable conversion in my EG soon for a swap, which includes a billet mount with a polyurethane bushing in the rear. The AC mount is gone, and the oem bushing on the front torque mount is broken (ordering new one on monday). I want/need to beef up my torque mounts because I'm only using 2 instead of 3, but don't want to spend the dough on a billet mount for the front and have no use for a complete set of inserts. Does anyone know if Energy Suspension or anyone else sells individual inserts? Or does anyone have or know anyone that has the front torque mount insert for sale?

i tried forever to just find the rear mount inserts for my car,and had no luck.no distributors would sell them individually,and i got no response from ES(or Prothane)when i tried to contact them via email.
i think your best bet is to buy the three-mount kit and try to sell the remaining inserts.

damn. Who would want to buy only two? ...and yes, I realize how dumb that sounds when I'm looking for only one.

ummm,i would have
just using the rear inserts cuts out a LOT of movement,but hardly adds any vibration at all.adding in the front lower inserts is what adds the majority of the vibration.since this was for my daily driver,all i wanted was the rear inserts.
i paid like $40 shipped for the whole set.i'd have gladly paid $25 for just the rear.there are quite a few people who just run the rear inserts,so i don't think you'd have a hard time selling them.

BTW-i just read your post again-are you not running the A/C mount at all?or is the rubber bushing for the A/C mount damaged?
also,i know this is completely off subject,but have you bought the Hasport conversion kit yet?i'm thinking you may be able to sell that cable tranny,and with the money you'd have spent on that conversion kit,you could probably buy a hydro tranny.it'd be newer(which should/could mean in better shape),and i've heard of people having problems with that cable to hydro linkage system.

It's a story too long for me to bother getting into, but I'll explain the short version. I have a B18B1 with a Y1 cable tranny (from a '90 LS). They're both together, both work well, and both have very low miles. I want a GSR tranny, but I don't have the money right now (hasport and sold Y1 aren't enough) and I'm anxious to get the swap in asap. I'm also afraid of selling a perfect condition tranny and taking a risk on a GSR tranny, the condition of which I can't tell until its installed. I got a good deal on the Hasport conversion from a reliable guy (DaX). So, the plan is to run the Y1 with the conversion until next year. I could still sell the Y1 then (unless I utterly obliterate it), and I could sell the Hasport kit for just as much as I paid for it then too.
.
The reason the AC mount isn't being used is because the engine/tranny was in a DA, and the B18A1 doesn't use that mount. Wait, I'm a retard. I just realized now that I should just buy one. I just figured that because I didn't have the AC mount, I couldn't use it. [insert picture of hammer hitting head here] How do you make that smiley anyway?

that's cool.
i would definitely pick up the A/C mount and use it.i've seen a few people break the upper driver side mount out of the block from not using the A/C mount.
if you need one,let me know-i think i have a couple laying around.

I just checked and found out that the mount from my EG is compatible (and the bracket is still attached to the block on the LS). Thanks for the offer though.

the rubber mount on the Civic is compatible with a B-series engine,but if i'm not mistaken the 90-93 Integras didn't have the appropriate bracket on the engine.
i thought that the 90-93 cars had one front mount in the center-just like an EF.
what you need is the mount that the A/C compressor mounts on on 94+ Integras that also serves as an engine mount.
and now that i think about it,i don't think that the cable trannies have the appropriate mounting points for the 94+ Integra/92+ Civic lower front mount.

the block is a B1, so the bracket is right.
I was fairly certain the fron tranny mount would work, but I'll have to do some more reading to make sure.

i know nopi sells them individually. nopi is the greatest place to buy parts...maybe more expensive on some things but its well worth it. you know theyre reliable, fast shipping, excellent service..
