Matt,
I don't know of any kind of glue. The rubber and metal is attached like a
vulcanizing process. The thing I would do would be to use the glue and patch
like in the old patches that was used in fixing flats. Believe it or not you
set the glue on fire to the point of melting as a small vulcanizing process
to re attach.

Subject: [DML] Motor Mounts keep coming unglued...


Does anyone know of a good glue to attach the rubber piece of the
engine mount back to the steel pieces?  I tried using 3M's window-weld
but it's not working very well.  I really don't have any problem with
it until I try to re-install my engine.  If I happen to bump one of
the motor mounts with the engine while installing it, it almost
immediately becomes partially detached, and I then procede to tear the
rest of it off with my hand and curse and scream.

Additionally, would it be a bad thing if I got these made entirely
from steel?  I imagine the car would vibrate more, but I don't really
care.  It seems so ridiculous to mount an engine with glue.

thanks,

Matt
