F355 Airbox Rubber Mounts

I was recently changing my 355 exhaust and when I removed the intake airboxes I noticed that all six rubber airbox mounts were dry rotting and cracking. Makes sense since they are located directly above the hot muffler. I looked them up on Ricambi and they are about $17/each. Not terribly expensive, but $100 is more than I wanted for pay for some rubber mounts.

With a bit of research I found an equivalent rubber mount for $2.81/each. I know the threaded studs are a few mm longer, but it doesn't affect anything. $17 is a lot better than $100!!

If anyone else needs them, I got them from:

Advanced Antivibration Components
Part# V11Z02MMMKA025
Cylindrical Mount
$2.81/each

Perfect timing as I was thinking of replacing these since my exhaust is out of the car now.

Thanks for the find

are you adding it to sticky thread of parts?

 

Nice research....thanks for sharing.

 

Brendan, Do you have the ferrari part number this replaces?

 

Yes, but the OEM Ferrari mounts use rubber components that are hand moulded by Ferrari craftsman using techniques passed down through the generations, while the metal originated from a lone meteor that crashed to earth and landed in the Gobi desert eons ago. Oh, and don't forget the pretty yellow box. That's why they're $100/set. Just wanted to set you straight

 

Im so glad you reminded us of this, I almost made the mistake of saving $85... That was close.

 

Yes, this replaced Ferrari Part# 142202

Good points! What good is an exotic car without exotic materials!

 

Please post in the sticky cross reference thread.

 

That part is a rough equivalent to shock mounts used in many various places on many Italian cars. There are several different part numbers that it will likely work for. An example might be the window lift motors on 348 or Lamborghini Diablo doors. The studs might need to be shortened in some cases.

 

Done. Thanks!

 

Nice find, thanks!

 

Nice find.

 

cool!!! ............

 

How many mounts would I need to order?

 

Looks like 6 total:
Ferrari Parts : 142202 DAMPER SUPPORT : Ricambi America

Oh and 2012 just called and wants its' thread back.

 

They are called sandwich mounts
mcmastercarr has many kinds at a great price

McMaster-Carr

 

+1 ....

 

Is McMaster in the parts interchange sticky?

 

I just ordered from advanced vibration in New Jersey and they were extremely fast and no tax or shipping and handling charges. Great service and I also ordered some shorter versions for clearance possibly . So in expensive why not.... It did come in a yellow envelope !

 

excellent

 

And look at that, they are even cadmium plated and much less likely to rust. Just waiting on the "well you might trust your Ferrari to a $2 part but I am having the dealership put in OEM ones" guy to post.

 

Haha

 

Yes, this is sacralidge.. You are bastardizing your car if you you these. your car will have no future value. It is scrap.

 

Thanks for the link but what are the specs for these? I think the thread is M6 but what are the other dimensions?

 

I got oem ones from AW Italian for much less than the dealer
