I received 4 washers today from LJ. I originally assumed there would be 2 washers per side per mount, but I guess I was wrong.




One mount fitted up just fine. You can only fit 1 washer per side, due to clearance.





The other side mount, err.... didnt fit so well

Ok, last shot at this guys. I will leave it in Avid's hands and Franklin assures that he will take care of the issues and I am confident that he will. He is sending everyone new mounts and brackets. The earlier version did not work at all. I went through all of the brackets and hand picked what works and it seems as though the new brackets are the only ones that will work with the four washers on each mount.

I spoke with Franklin today and gave him everyone's address. Everyone should be receiving new mounts and brackets. If this issue does not get resolved please contact me. Thanks

I sure hope (and am expecting) that the revised brackets do not have flanged out 'ears'. The bracket should be built to the correct width and be perfectly parallel with the mount itself.

sounds like resolution is on the way. LJ @ FBM has the best customer service I've encountered in a long time. Buy with confidence people!

My new mounts arrived today! I was under the impression that these mounts were only available in 62a durometer rating; the box I received was marked '70a.' This is not a complaint. I actually prefer to run stiffer mounts. I'll be installing these when I get home from work Friday evening and will relay my initial impressions. The following are a few pics of the new mounts:

Parts going back to AVID (original mounts/brackets; updated brackets; washers):

The new mounts share the same dimensions as the originals

I know these mounts can be mounted on either side, but is there a preferred direction? (ie eyelets facing the engine? Facing the frame?)

Thanks for the pictures, glad these things got sorted out. to AVID for getting these replaced in a quick manner

I don't get my replacement till Friday and will also install them this week.

I haven't looked at how the mounts mount, but I would install it in such a way so that if you were to loose the nuts, the bolt would not slide out.
