Agreed. I've seen these mounts take abuse.

There is a sequence of nuts, spacers and such that has to be installed correctly. Maybe that was the issue. I also have given those a beatin' on my 993 and 996. Wierd S@#% happens all the time though.

So... the failure was due to installation error, then?

Sambo's pics are from a 993 turbo. It's engine carrier and chassis are different from 996's. IMO independent of the type of mounts used on 996 turbo/GT3 OEM spacers are required between the mounts and chassis. Otherwise the engine will sit too low.
Thanks Pete. Couldn't find pics in a 996. They do sit on the spacer in a 996+. If the washers are installed properly they work fine. 993 996 and 997 mounts are the same.
