Anyone here have leads on aftermarket motor mounts? I think I remember SirAndy having one made of box chromoly when he was still running a 4-banger. I'm looking for something solid and lighter than the stock bar.

QUOTE(McMark @ Jan 23 2009, 11:22 AM)  Here's a mockup design. I like that design, but the car still has a sideshifter and typical linkage. I'll have to take some measurements of the hole in the stock motor mount. |

Yeah we have the steel targa bar, but we aren't cutting out pieces of the structure of the car, it already flexes enough as it is. If I remember correctly you had a tubular steel motor mount in your car at one point, do you still have it or any pictures? |
