BSH brings you the staple of drivetrain reinforcement. The kit is a three piece design, a main body, an intermediate body, and a polyurethane subframe insert. Each component has been designed to accomplish rock solid performance, easy to maintain, and aesthetic enhancement of the respective part of the car. Performance Features: As we are sure you’ve noticed the factory motor mounts have a ton of give in them. Torque mount inserts are a good start but there is still another bushing left to give slop to the overall feel of the engine. Our billet mounts reduce the ability of the engine to flex back by incorporating 88a durometer bushings and the billet bodies to hold them. Once installed you will notice significantly less movement from engine under acceleration which will result in a better ability for the power you are making to be transmitted to the road. After installation you will notice the following: Significantly reduced engine movement. More feedback from the engine Greatly reduced wheel hop More defined throttle input Smoother shifts for both DSG and Manual cars Product Features: During development we spent considerable time studying the factory part and incorporated many of the features into our performance rendition. These little additions turn the part into more then just a solidified way to connect point A to point B. On the main body of the factory part there is a visible bit of material coming through the bushing. This material is used first to align the bodies of the mount and also to hold the hardware in a double shear. The point where the mounts bushing will flex puts stress on the solid hardware that holds the mount in place. The double shear allows the machined body to bear much of this burden before transmitting this force onto the hardware. This feature not only makes the part easier to install but also greatly increases the reliability. On the tail end of the main body we have matched the OEMs profile to allow for a simple installation. The curves allow the body to lock into place into the factory position. See pictures three and four in the "see more images" section for more information. The hardware used is grade 8 stainless steel to ensure corrosion resistance. Also included is the one time use factory bolt. All major components have been hard anodized black to give a classy and stealth appearance to the vehicle. Compatibility with various OEM configurations: This kit will fit the following vehicles: VW GTi & GLi 2.0T (DSG and Manual) VW Rabbit and Jetta 2.5 (Manual Confirmed, Auto testing not yet complete) VW Passat 2.0T (DSG and Manual) VW MKV R32 (DSG) Audi A3 2.0T (DSG and Manual) Audi A3 3.2 (DSG)

Recently the handle of these shears broke just below the serrated jaws. I used a high speed pneumatic die grinder with a 1/8 bit to hog out a channel for a reinforcement rod. I cut a non-threaded segment of a small socket head cap screw to the length of the channel. I set the reinforcement rod in the channel with epoxy. I wasn't sure how well the epoxy would adhere to the handles, which I believe are Nylon, so I decided to wrap Kevlar around the joint. Additional epoxy was applied to the Kevlar for further reinforcement and to avoid terminating knots.
