Yeah its not very thick. Its what I had laying around. I make a new one.

[BP-Festiva]

I agree with everyone else, you need to run some thicker metal, I am using 3/16th" steel and its held up to its fair amount of abuse. Im using a stock EGT mount and I got the steel from a metal supply warehouse about an hour from my house.

Maxtiva, is that the mount off of the EGT or festiva?
And where did you get that metal bracket?

[Maxtiva]

Like monsoon said this one is going to twist (I talk from experience) an yo should use a 1/4" iron angle
Here is a pic of mine

[MONSOON]

Im no expert and someone else may say its alright. but that piece of angle iron youre using looks a little too thin for what youre trying to do and the torque it may experience. Personally Id go to 1/4" thick myself. Maybe 3/8" if itd fit OK. But thats me.

[timmay89]

How thick/strong is that metal you are using for the no weld side mount?

did you use the EGT mount or the Festiva one?

[David88]

^sorry, changed my post on ya.

[wybnrml]

Alright, change your post, I'll change mine, Haha, those no weld mounts look good.

[David88]

I got this pic today of the side mount. It still needs some tweaking to get another bolt in.

[eurotiva]

^ keep us posted.

[David88]

me too please!! need more trans mount references.

I will get good pics when I pull it back out. When I dropped it in I had the stock rear EGT mount on the trans. I could see that the whole engine needed to go back about an inch or more. Instead of modding or making a new bracket, I used the stock EGT bracket and mount. I just took the cross member down, drilled the spot welds on the perch and moved it back 1 1/4". also moved it to the left 1/4".

Thanks for the offer of the harness WES. I did find one today. There are two festys at a yard here in town.
