Do they vary from frame to frame ie are they the same cones for a GP and LI frame for instance?

Same.... to my knowledge.....

MMmm, I bought a set and they arrived today - when i tried to fit them tonight i couldn't squeeze the engine mounts over them, they protruded from the frame a good 2mm either side.

I wound a bolt between them to draw them in bu they just popped out again, closed them up in a vice but they stiil would not push into the frame enough to allow me to get the engine over them so I ended up popping the old ones back in

They didn't seem to be as snug a fit as the originals either a different shape really.

I checked the listing off ebay and it did say GP offset cones - I am trying to fit them in an LI, I didn't want to complain to the ebay seller if there is a difference between them.

measure them against the ones you have taken out....but it could be your engine mounts catching cus the inner piece is pulled in a little... That is the steel inserts inside the rubber might be sitting in too far...reducing the gap...

It fouls on the lugs of the casing not the mounts themselves, I did offer them up and there is a difference in size all around.

I'm going to email the seller to see what he says.

Thanks Jims

I hope you sort it... I fited some to my SX, got them off John at scooter loopy...went straight in... but my other scooter the mounts were closer together cus the rubber had pulled in.....

I've just been ' on t'other side and resurrected an old thread and ask SLJ if he's still making them.
A few people had said they'd bought bad ones off ebay.

He makes a quality product...Reccomended...

there are two types of cone ,one type has a chamfer on the edge of the widest part and the the other doesn't and are slightly shorter

That's makes sense then , looks like I've bought the wrong ones
