Could anybody please verify that the attached pics (sorry for quality :eek:) show ARB and engine mount bushes? The Polish mechanic, who turns out to be Latvian, doesn't speak Norwegian nor English - so I'm not 100% sure what I need :)

If they indeed are ARB and engine bushes, how many do I need of each? 4 ARB, 2 engine? I guess any eBay bush will suffice (don't need Eibach ;) )?

And this is one of the engine mounts. I believe there's two for the engine and one for the transmission.
You probably won't find any if search for barchetta mounts, but this italian site show's that the mounts are the same as in 176-series Punto:

There's some available it ATP also for quite a reasonable price:

Just check which one you need to replace of just replace them all. A spare part seller with a catalogue will probably find out which ones are in barchetta.

Thanks a lot (y) A little busy nowadays (got mother-in-law coming for a visit :eek:), but will get on the case an order some one of these days :)
 
what makes you think you need a new engine mount bush ?? My B is 20 yrs old and Ive taken that very bush out this week whilst doing another job and it appears fine to me !!!


I must add that on your foto where you have circled the engine mount bush , to the left is the anti roll bar inner bushes which Ive just replaced with red poly super flex. Also to the left of that is the rear susp arm bushes which ive also just replced and can i say what a pain that was ???
Near imposible to remove old and replace with new !!!
Anyone got previous experience of doing those ??
