What are people using for engine mount bushs? Looking for something like a large wishbone bush rather than a ones with bolts each end

eBay bush

I mounted my engine and gearbox using poly wishbone bushes.

Got mine from here. Fantastic range and holding my engine in place!

Not used them personally, but these guys do universal bits with various Shore ratings.

if that's used for a car engine it'll rattle your teeth out, nothing worse than a vibrating car for more than a few mins and a hard mount doesn't give you any more HP than a nice soft one

Slightly OT - but is there any reason I could not use one of these 'bolt at each end' types, with a fabricated steel cradle (basically a 'bathtub' type shape ) to replace the 'Type 9' kind of gearbox mounting I have on my Ford g'box at the moment?
