M62 V8 oil filter housing rubber mounts replacement and improvement.

[dkonsta1 109]

My rubber mounts on the oil filter housing were gone so I had to sort this asap. There is a high risk involved by driving the car if both mounts are gone.

The general layout is like this.

Called BMW asked for price. $90 for the set.

I said f@@k that I will check local after market ones.

Mount Shop Penrose.

In stock $40 for the set.

I chose on purpose to go one size up on size to make it bullet proof.

Original mount is 20 x 20 with M6 male studs

Problem is the bottom stud is quite short and once the rubber goes it's a hell of a job to remove it from the metal bracket.

The one I chose is 30 x 20 (larger diameter not height) with 2 long male stud M6

Benefits from the upgrade is better anti vibration, stronger Mount and easy to remove in the future just by putting a m6 cap nut to undo the worn Mount.

Final result like this.
