I have a set of motor mounts with deteriorated rubber and am thinking of attempting a DIY from a Nissan enthusiast site. I've read last January's "Motor Mount Rebuild or ??" thread on our site and noticed an option of repair was $225 sending them to http://www.mustangsetc.com/73-mustang-30...-fastback/. There was also a link to a $280 aftermarket option.
Take a look at this site.

Now take a look at the cost of a lb. of this material.

Why couldn't I dig out the remainder of the rubber, clean and paint the mounts, and poor the flexane in the empty cavity?
This is the stats of the flexane: hardness of 97A (Shore D scale) and a tensile strength of 2800 psi.
To do both mounts the total cost would be about $60 with cleaner, paint and flexane.
What do you think?
