and good riddance:

the rt mount is the easiest upgrade so far, 14 mm wrench, socket and a hammer to persuade it a little. Oh and a sharp knife to remove a little from the bump stop. the clunk is gone!

With all those RT mounts now in use, there must be one heck of a pile of used diff straps out there somewhere. I know I have quite a collection now.

If only I could think of a new use for them... Hmmm. Miniature summer tank treads, cat toys you toss that they love to chase (for really tough, big cats, or cats you don't like...), Bracelets for gorillas, backyard swing seats for really small kids,

Help me out here people, surely there must be more ideas out there!!!

Agreed. Not just the lack of clunk, but the big reduction in lash (or slop) in the driveline when getting on and off the throttle. And with no change in NVH. This is one of the biggest improvements in drivability that I have done - ranks right up there with the improvement in freeway stability from the spook.

Maybe a brand new strap would do as well, but I doubt it.

ok, I briefly remember seeing something about this upgrade in previous searches. Where did you get the RT mount ?

Improvements from the stock Z in order of effectiveness.

1) Poly rack bushings.

2) Front Spoiler.

3) RT Mount.

4) Plus sized wheels and tires

5) New shocks.

From this forum, but I don't think he's doing any more - http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?36463-R-T-diff-mount-Group-Buy&highlight=zsondabrain+mount

And from the Hybridz site - http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/61675-rt-mount-ordering-info/page__pid__940145__st__140#entry940145

You can get them here - http://www.technoversions.com/DiffMountHome.html

How about soaking the straps in alcohol to disinfect and selling them as lap bands?

I'll have to add this to my list.

Great reminder! I shall make it so.

I orderd mine from technoversions. He shipped it supper fast. I orderd it 10:00 pm and it was shipped at about 10:00 am the next day, it arrived one day after that.

On another note I do hear more drivline noise, is this normal, perhaps vibrations transfering through the new mount?

I expected a touch more noise, didn't really notice any. But a bit more could be considered normal.
