I know I have a lot of open projects still needing completion and shouldn't be looking at new things, but one bit that has been bothering me is the Drivers Side engine mount. They fail. And they aren't available from Ford anymore - so the only option is to buy aftermarkets.
It has occurred to me though that we should be able to fix them ourselves. Unmixed Shore A 60 to 70 Polyurethane can be purchased easily enough ready for moulding. And it is possible to create a 3D printed Mould in which to pour Polyurethane. So it seems to me a no brainer - why could we not simply re-mould the flexible component of the engine mount in Polyurethane?
This could naturally lead to casting Polyurethane suspension bushes, exhaust hanger mounts and all sorts of neat stuff.
Here are some videos that gave me inspiration:
