Message	Noltec engine mounts are made out of polyester, NOT polyurethane. Since I couldn't find anything about polyurethane mounts failing, I figured I would try 'em out. If they fail, they fail. On another note, I tried to find info on the strength and reliability of polyurethane and polyester and could not find anything useful. Any google search on polyester that I found was for fabrics.
