DEA motor mounts

For the 124.034/.036 (all years 400E/500E)... the only mounts to use are OE or OEM, which are made by Boge. I bought Lemforder mounts and they were Boge with the MB part number still on them. I don't think I've ever seen the correct Boge mounts sold under other brand names.
Lemforder/Boge are available for under $100 each from AutohausAZ:

Pelican claims $79 each which is awfully good:

Meyle - NO - don't use them. Very, very likely to be Chinese junk. I bought Corteco mounts once... and I have a feeling they are reboxed Uro mounts. There was no country of origin, they were 3-5mm shorter (!!) than new Boge, and they had that distinct Harbor Freight smell of Chinese rubber. And, they weighed less too! Boge are 3.6 lbs, Coretco are 2.9 lbs, that is a 20% difference and it's very noticeable. I sent back the Coretco for a refund. Be careful with Rein, they may be the same as Corteco.

Lemforder/Boge from FCP are $73.99 each. Real OE quality at the best price I have found so far.

Agreed on the OEM or at the least the Lemforters. I'm facing mounts soon on my 420 and looking at it I don't think I would want to do it twice because I scrimped on a part!!
