I am swapping a B16A into an 89 std dx hatchy and i am going to use the peice HCP mounts. Has anyone used them before and how do you like them? And do you still have to bang away at the right side of the body to fit the the new B16A alternator beacuse i know you have to with the Ha sports mounts. Thanks for your help.

 

I've got a buddy with HCP mounts and they're pretty good. He's using 3 of 4 because of the crazy vibration from the engine (solid mounts). Yes you still have to bang away for the alt.

 

I sell the HCP stuff and I live by it. I have the four piece in my car and I love it. The vibration isn't that bad like everyone says it to be. You still have to knock the side for the alternator and notch the rear cross-member by banging it down, very small area so that the rear mount bracket doesn't hit it. If you don't do this the mount bracket in the rear touches the cross-member and thats how most get crazy vibration. Other then that it's pretty easy to setup...

Thanks for the help man.
