    D2's that get used and flexed just crack them. When LandRover revised everything for the D2a reinforcing that mount was one of the changes.

    Does that suggest that a bit of pre-emptive reinforcing would be wise?

    No not really.

    They first crack through the bolt hole where the body is still supported. Once that has been cracked and reinforced it then cracks down near where the mount connects to the chassis - admittedly its in an easier place to weldup though.

    Exactly where mine cracked, at the hole and fixed, then at the chassis both sides, passenger and drivers side.
