Well I didn't make the mount. What a crappy mount. Don't make any mounts like these guys.. I am going to make a thicker mount where the torque doesn't tear the steel.

And that's the mount that sees the least amount of force. Must have used some crappy steel. I'd fab up one of those no weld mounts.

Whenever I look at one of you guy's mounts like that, I wonder (to myself) if it wouldn't be better to move the mounting point in the engine bay instead of making an off-set mount. Those off-set things look like they must be in pain all the time

Every car I have owned has had a turbo in it, until I bought this latest festiva.. I plan to fix that though.Comment

whats the thickness on that steel? i never use anything less than 1/4 inch steel, and even then plenty of bracing to go with it.
thats what ive got on my 2 tranny mounts since i dont have a crossmember...1992 Festiva... BP-T, Escort G5MR, no crossmember, aspire brakes, Megasquirt, Toyota COP's, coilovers and 6 puck SPEC clutch!
T3/T4 Turbo Power! G5MR and BP since '04!Comment

I didn't measure, but it looks like 3/16" and it wasn't done very well.. that's why I said don't make them like this.. I wouldn't use less than 1/4" either.Comment
