They are only a Bobbin mount, look at these and I am sure there will be one that is close to what we need https://www.avmountsonline.co.uk/bob...0aAhBTEALw_wcB

Sorry for the confusion David.
Thanks for the link Steve.
It looks a straight forward job but I've been caught out before on this car. Might have a word with Nick at Austin Garage.
Thanks both.

Personaly I would remove one, measure it and order the nearest version from that link. I suspect the genuine article will be 10 times the price but probably in truth is the same.

Do you happen know if the strength/stiffness of the rubber is a factor, Steve, or they all made much the same in that regard?

Steve please let us know if you identify these.
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

Only concern if I measure one of the existing rubbers I don't really know what their original length was as I guess they would have compressed a bit over the years. I'll have to weigh it up.

If the mileage the auctioneers were showing of 19,876 a year ago was accurate, I wouldn't think they would have been too compressed or worn. Having said that, if you think they need attending to, maybe there is another reason? Oil contamination?

It's only done 21k miles now but the engine mountings have been replaced making the cabin a lot quieter, just thought if front rubbers needed replacing the rears may also! No oil leaks either - but they are nearly 20 years old!
Also give me something to do during next lockdown!!

If you look the ones I sent the link too had different load capacities. If a gearbox is about 100kg if you think that is divided by two some that can take 100kg each should be more than up to the job.
I am tempted to pop one of mine out and see how it looks after 100k miles.
