I've never seen a broken one. I have 2 240's. One has about 260K and one just turned 190K. Both have great engines. Max

But, I find with the engine breathing right, eating right, and being at peace with itself - I have much less bouncing around with the air filter set up. Moral of story, for me anyway, is keep the engine happy and you will break fewer t-brackets and mounts.

Every conceivable combination of rubber isolation, reinforcement, braces, and bolts have been used, but the result is the same - broken again before the end of the summer driving season. Motor mounts were changed last year (@ 3k km)but is seems the revs of 140km hour highway driving has shaken the whole assembly apart yet again. Has anyone actually solved this issue?
