I cant get the t4 motor mount to work, strips spurs, have rebuilt, changed screws, tightened in the suggested sequence but it claims at least 1 spur a week. Would the t3 motor mount fit or what should i do? |

Check the motor screws are definitely holding the motor still. Try putting some washers between the motor screws and the mount. Also check that nothing is bent. Skiddins |

Strip the mount and layshaft mounts etc out of the car completely. Check they are not bent, then rebuild as per the instructions. This problem has come up a few times, and something has always been done wrong. Skiddins |

Also degrease the motor mount and motor with brake cleaner. And run the 4 screws that go through the topdeck into the layshaft mounts. Some people remove this which causes spurs to strip in a crash. If you're using cone washers, sand the reverse of these slightly with 60 grit sandpaper, this will give them more friction to stop the motor moving. But really I don't think these washers should even be necessary if everything else is put together correctly. |

Somethings bent most probably. And replace the M3 nut for the center screw. |
