Will you be making two sets of mounts? One for me and one for you?

Will you be making two sets of mounts? One for me and one for you?

:lol: i do have enough material to make a second set but my crossmember has been modified for the rear mount

Here's the freshly made front tranny mount, its not fantastic but its strong and will do the job, i still need to paint it and install it but that won't be til tomorrow, but i may get it painted tonight so its ready to go in tomorrow




And i just picked these up from the post office today, brand new smooth clear corners from David88, Much better then the home-made clear corners i had on



And if anyone is interested in these send me a PM

[nonamekid]

You have any pictures of the modification to the crossmember? Also what are you going to do with the old mounts for the B6T once you get the V6 running?

[Flyin4stroke]

What did you fill that mount with ?? I just broke my front tranny mount on my b6t and need a solid mount looks like what you got but was rubber...

I'm actually re-using the rear tranny mount and i'll probably be using the round part of the engine mount, so i won't have the complete set of B6T mounts to sell, although i have been considering manufacturing a mount kit for the g25 tranny

Thats solid nylon, i actually didn't put the nylon in the mount, the previous owner of the car did that (Sleeper)

cool i gotta think of a way to make mine stiff! hmmm...

[Damkid]

^^Viagara!?!!? :lol::lol:

[nonamekid]

^^^^ rofl

[Flyin4stroke]

Damn you got me! HAHAHA that funny i dont care who you are...

[Flyin4stroke]

Besides i said "stiff" not "HARD"

[resuwrecked]

fill a stock mount with window weld, its liquid poly and sets hard

[Damkid]

Flyin4stroke - you left that wide open for a comeback :lol: i couldn't pass up the oppurtunity :lol:

Alright so i couldn't wait til tomorrow to put the motor/tranny back in with the new mount so here's some more pics

Painted mount bracket




And a few randome pics of the clearances with both the tranny mounts complete, some space has been free'd up, which is nice :lol:

[FestYboy]

accessory pullys are gonna be tight!!!

[Damkid]

Yes they are :lol: i'm considering knotching the frame if its too tight

[Lmcclure]

that is a beautifull site, you have changed my mind yet again on what kind of swap i want to do...how much would you have to have to make some custom mounts? also is that pinch weld on the firewall structeral or can that be takin back a bit?
