After we did my timing belt and some other things, i tought it would be a good time to put in the inserts since it was on a lift. Well the damn zip ties ended up breaking on one of the mounts before it was even mounted. I'm pretty sure I've heard of people using bolts to hold them on instead. I'm just wondering what length I need? I dont want them to be too long or too short. I forgot to measure...

 

ive never heard of people putting bolts in there but im sure they have. but personally i just take a fat normal zip tie and put it through the hole and tie around the mount itself..... not sure if i made too much sense

Yea I was thinking about doing that, how long has it held up so far?

and overall, how do you like the inserts? Is the vibration at idle that bad?

 

naw the vibration isnt that bad. i love the inserts though. and as far as holding up i had the zip ties in my old civic for over a year and none of them ever broke

 

i just did this. I got the 4 bolts 8 washers and 4 lock washers and four nuts. I think but they were 2 1/2" on one side and 3" on the other (one side is thicker) and were just small machine bolts. Sorry I don't remeber the exact kind because I had my mounts with me at the hardware store. Also on the passenger side mount you might need to take a 1/4" or less off the length of the blots to keep them from rubbing the mount bracket

 

u sayin I'll need to grind off some of the bolt head? or just get a shorter bolt for the passenger side mount?

 

I used zip ties. Had them on for over 6 months now. Zip ties are still on.

 

zip ties work fine
ive had them in my car for a long time. i just check them when i change the oil sence im down there any way
