360 coolant tank rubber damper support 142202 - cheaper source

The only difference is that the OEM one has the metal caps on the rubber isolator and the McMaster one is slightly taller but I replaced all of my isolators (4 on the coolant tank and the ones that attach the airbox) with the McMaster ones and I haven't had any issues with fit or vibration or wear.

I bought the general purpose ones and haven't had temperature issues, so save the money.

McMaster part number 9217K35 is what I bought

 

I have seen those used a lot. They do not last nearly as long as OE. The end plates split off from the rubber.

 

I have ones from mcmaster and have lasted more than 2 years and the price of oem is just ridiculous. I support mcmaster for all my hardware needs. I bet you will never know the difference from the oem

 

Also be careful to not over tighten the nuts.. or you will risk damaging the rubber isolators.

 

No it just look like the corner gas station has been servicing the car.

I bet Mazda parts cost less. You can always drive one of those.

 

Thanks for your input. And whats wrong with a corner gas station.

 

Don’t trigger rifle he will verbally attack.
Just leave sleeping dog lie asleep.

I’m sure the real message is lost in translation..,


Translator— “ sir you might wish to use oem parts for that oem look”. “Cheerio”

 

Do you even see the top metal part after its bolted down to the air box and.

 

its been about 3.5 years and 8k miles. No issues at all

 

I replaced mine a little over a year ago with the McMaster part and have had no issue whatsoever.

I ordered an extra set too. Replacement is super easy - so even if I were to have to replace them every 3-4 years, it wouldn’t be a problem.

 

One of the few reasons it is worth spending what we spend to get one of these cars is at resale we get a very high percentage of the purchase price back. The only way that happens is by maintaining it to a high level. That is not done by substituting cheap generic parts. When I see that I have to assume everything on the car has been done on the cheap. One of the things I have done in the last 40+ years in the Ferrari business is evaluate cars for clients to buy. One repaired with hardware store parts will never get the nod.


The factory correct parts in this case can be had for about $7 if you shop around. I keep a big bag of them on the shelf.

 

How many miles on those ?

 

Yeah the price is out there. If you wanted to make the a/market rubber blocks look OE you could always machine up metal caps for them. Bit of a PITA to machine up,nothing wrong with a/market.

 

At my last annual, AutoTech noticed mine were cracked and changed them for some identical Porsche ones he had, cap and all.
