The First Line Group (FLG) has expanded its range of engine and gearbox mountings, introducing 200 new references, to take the range total to more than 900 part numbers.

Mountings is a product group that is becoming ever more complex and it is important for technicians to be fully aware of the significance of changes in design. Mountings are no longer just rubber and metal bonded items, but also often feature specifically manufactured hydraulic filled chambers. These vital components are designed not only to provide support and stability, but also to control the noise, vibration and harshness of the vehicle, properties that modern vehicle designers place much emphasis on.

Over time rubber to metal anti-vibration products will wear and deteriorate and this means that these components are becoming an important replacement item. FLG says its premium quality First Line engine and gearbox mountings have been designed and manufactured with specific rubber bonding and shore hardness characteristics to the fore, to ensure they meet specific vehicle application requirements.

The range includes popular rear stabiliser/anti-torque mountings and modern hydraulic mounts, all of which are individually inspected and approved to ensure they meet FLG’s exacting quality standards.

First Line engine and gearbox mountings cater for many individual applications, with full information available on Autocat, TecDoc and the First Line Webcat.
