If you mean engine mounts, these are just steel inserts in a mould.

I don't know how to get a good bond, I know this can be problematic. I'd guess the surface finish and cleanliness of the metal is paramount, and the correct primer is essential. If the bond fails at the edge of bush that is usually due to poor design - the fillet has to be carefully designed to minise the stresses in the transition.

This info is based on knowledge from about 5 years ago. With the very dynamic nature of structures within multi national companies, I can't be sure how or by whom these products are now handled.
