svJvJ, never actually met those ones but they look like they bolt to the front engine mount, which is a bit of a bad location as it's so narrow- to get the bungs to the same width as ones on the middle mount they have to be huge, and long means weak. Also, if they snap you can be left with a bit of hardened bolt stuck in an engine mount thread (middle bolt is a straight-through, if it snaps you just replace it, front one is a threaded hole with an M10) THe other thing is, metal's not really a material I'd choose for various reasons- delrin and similiar bends nicely, metal doesn't. It'll also transmit more force in the initial fall, like a little anvil. So it could work out bad in an accident, but that's as much luck of the draw as anything else tbh.
