Please lend your ear and advice on this...
Ordered a bunch of stuff from FCP, they are great and no gripes with them, BUT-- Evidently there was a bit of miscommunication about which engine mounts I wanted for my 745t, and when I came home to my eagerly awaited box tonight I found that they had sent solid instead of hydraulic mounts (suffix of "A" at the end of the part # and invoice also says "solid")... mounts appear identical to the hydraulics but evidently they are not.
What do I do? I absolutely have my heart set on getting my brick back together this weekend, it has been down for a head gasket and other misc. improvements for about a month, we have decent weather (warm!) now and I am d'mn tired of driving around in the gas-guzzling F-150 my boss has lent me. I also have major turbobrick withdrawal.
Am I going to be completely dismayed with the solids? Will I shake, rattle and roll? Will I lose my ambition to live? I might add that I have been putting up with basically no engine mounts for some while, as the PO found it more convenient to cut away the bottom of the fan shroud than to fix the old mounts. I have been putting a lot of things back together on this one and am finally now on the verge of getting things really nice, so I don't want to cut this one final unnecessary corner if it's going to be a source of regret later.
Please, any input you all may have to offer, thank you.
