RE: UrQ right hand motor mount

I do not recall the P/N that I used, but, I did get 'em from
Chris at Autobahn after much research. They bolted-into
the 85 ur-q just fine. I also do not recall that they were
rectangular in shape, they were the same shape, size
and appearance as were the stock mounts. I did not
install the heat shield. I do recall that they had to have
the 'green dot' to indicate that they were in fact the
correct part. They seem to work just fine. I sure do know
for an absolute fact that Chris got 'em fer a lot less $$$
that the dealer price of $150!

After many phone calls and some very hepful info from Jonas
Sultan and Chris Semple here's what I found.

The original mount was oil filled
It has been superseeded by 443 199 381J which is a bonded
rubber mount that requires/suggests that you buy a heat shield
and a cap and assorted hardware.
443 199 382 is a "hydo" mount and is rectangular in shape. It
was fitted to post '87 UrQs. According to Jonas it will fit the
early UrQs. Glen Powell also has experience with this mount
according to Chris.
The hydro mounts are expensive $150 list, $60 Carlsen. Plus
you need all the other parts which brings it to well over $100.
Chris at Autobahn has German aftermarket mounts that fit
almost all the 5cyl UrQs, coupes, 4000Q, 5000's as a single
part. It is a beefy hydraulic unit designed to handle the max
engine weight, as in a 5000tq w/ AC. It's $75. He says no
shield required. 
Why use a shield to protect an engine mount that lasted close
to 180,000 mi? Any thoughts here. HTH.
