I've got a few Spondon440 ones, I am sure they are more durable...

Would be interesting to see what NRHS say about it...

Perhaps if the other isolators are allowing too much movement it could have caused that. Maybe accident damage?

Now the badwebber says his bolts also broke about a year ago. Something's rotten in the state of Georgia.

Yeah, maybe the engine was hanging from ONE bolt on that particular corner, creating too much stress in the hanger. You never know... Why else would it snap like that unless its was a weakness in the metal?
