Where to get 3M Windo-Weld, need to use on Engine Mount

[Vtim]

Anyone know where to get hold of the 3M Windo-Weld (Primerless) Super Fast Urethane ?

 

My stock engine mounts, especially the lower back are torn and the front one is about to suffer the same fate (after only 50k to 60k km).

 

This 3M Windo-Weld can be used to filled up all the "gaps" in the stock engine mounts ( I will be doing it on a set of new engine mount) and make it last much more longer, most US DIY guys are doing it to their stock engine mount as it is much cheaper than aftermarket Polyurethane engine mount.

have to do it lah, not many Trajet around liao and stockist may not be stocking it in 2 to 3yrs times, so I better strengthen the newer ones so it can last at least 100k km and will also rebuilt the current mount that is crack. So I'll have another spare set, all this is done at a very low cost

Yes, I am going to DIY but onto a new engine mount so that it will last longer than the usual 40 to 50k km as I plan to drive it till scrap

oh yes, it will take at least 24hrs, depending on how much/thick I want to apply

not all are the same, my Trajet are known to last only around 50k plus or minus

After you strengthen the engine mount, your car will vibrate like a race car. You will feel the engine vibration throughout the whole vehicle, very noisy.

That's why I am using this 3M type of polyurethane which has a "Shore A Hardness" of 60 - 65, which is softer than those after-market polyurethane engine mount insert which is around 90, even the SBR on the stock engine mount is more than 80 and is much harder. With a softer material (60 - 65) filling up all those gaps on the stock SBR engine mount, it will cushion the vibration of the SBR and prevent it from pre-mature crack/tear.

I think it is better to install leather seat instead if you have kids, fabric traps too much dirt

I done it for my wife car liao. It's only a bit better than the C-ONE engine mounting my car using, but still feel lots of vibration from the engine.

Interesting idea.

I'll let you know if I find it.
