I have had the same problem with the new mounts out there. Now I buy NOS mounts, problem solved.
The only Carbs I care about are under the hood!

I used the mighty mounts. Pricey but they are not made like the cheap ones. I've had original break just like yours. They have been like that for awhile. Just the bond was better. With this cheap Chinese crap out there, they may not last as long. In the case of motor mounts, "Chinese crap" would be considerably better than the stuff we're getting out of India these days. Hasn't been a good mount available at a parts store in nearly 20 years...

didn't they used to be made so that piece was in middle of the rubber ?? - doesn't seem like there is much to hold that metal piece to the rubber . . . . Not the biscuit style ones for cars like you have pictured there. Looks like the metal to rubber bond held but the rubber itself failed. Typical in my experience. Some good solutions posted above, especially for the driver side. I used to break those and the transmission mounts on a regular basis with a slightly worked engine and some racing. I was going to buy the interlocked from Schumacher and Michael suggested using his solid engine strap instead. Haven't broken one since. A pretensioned chain would probably work too. Depends on your preferences and space limitations.

If Imperial Services still has their poly mounts buy them.Have a set in my 65 that was the first he made.My son had a set in his 62 300 also along with their poly trans mounts.Mine have been in at least 10 years.The aftermatkets lasted maybe a month.They dont break period.That and not as bad as a solid mount for vibration.Rocky

Here's my poly loc ones. They only caused the suspension and header to hit since I had a strap. I'm seeing if these have a warranty tomorrow and going to buy the Schumacher mount that attaches to the k frame. My uncle and cousin have one on their 11 and 12 seconds cars with the regular auto parts store mounts and no issues. I guess I could be considered lucky it only messed up my TTI headers ugh.
Edit: They said I need to put a heat shield around mine and they have a 3 yr warranty. Also ordered their torque strap while I talked to them.
