Because the GT3 (and all other 996s and 997s for that matter) have the engine backwards it's much easier to do than on a 986/987/C7.
Our engine is mounted with the flywheel facing back, the 911s have it facing forward.
That's why we only have one front engine mount, instead of two.
BTW, the life of an OEM mount is 45,000 miles.
I don't know how long my remanufactured mounts will go because I haven't received one back yet (broken).
The first one I made I installed in my car 112,000 miles ago
.
I inspect it maybe twice a year, but haven't found any cracks yet.
The new mounts for the 987/C7 aren't really stronger, they're actually weaker, because they were made to absorb more vibration, hence they last less.
I also found a better compound for my remanufactured mounts.
The next generations will absorb better the engine vibration.
Happy Boxstering,
