Anyone replaced the front engine mounts on a J with PTFE, Nylon, Alloy, Tuffnel,.................. Ceramic? WHY?

They would need a steel insert like the existing but its the rubber outer and side buses i want to get rid of.

Seen it done plenty with solid ally, doesn't need a steel insert with that.
Rubber bushes were only put there in an effort to reduce the vibes through the bars.
