I ordered a set of Avid billet mounts for my 1g from ExtremePSI. I want to make sure I have the correct ones that I ordered but I'm not sure how to tell.

I ordered the 72A stiffness and the urethane feels like it is foam. It doesn't have a rubbery texture, which I find weird. These mounts were wrapped individually in brown paper and a bag of bolts was thrown in along with a paper stating which bolts to use for which mount. No other documentation.

I'm not saying I don't trust that they sent me the correct ones, but I am just curious because they have messed up two of my orders before. But they always correct it. Anybody know? Or is it just a guessing game?
 
I'm sure if you go on avidracings website it will show you what mount is what! Also if you can post pics up to help us tell you what mount is what. If you have the 3 piece kit the smallest 1 should be the rear with 3 bolt holes the bigger chunky one should be the tranny also with 3 bolt holes and the small wide ish mount with 2 holes is the timing side!
 
I think he's questioning the durometer (hardness) of the urethane and not which mount is which.

I'd contact Avid directly and ask. I wouldn't expect the urethane to be foamy but that can happen with a bad batch that has absorbed water if they are casting their own.

I have the 4 piece kit and I know which mount is which...I was asking about how I could tell what the "durometer" is. I ordered 72A and was just wondering if there was a way to tell if it was 72A or not.

The urethane portion seems to be soft to me. The stock mounts, if I press on them they are hard...these feel kind of soft. Hard to explain....I will take some pics when I get home from work and you can probably tell by the way they look that it seems weird. Maybe it's just me.
