driver side EK mount keeps breaking.. tried welding :(
so I'm on my 3rd try with these ridiculous mounts, with no luck so far.. the one I broke today was welded solid with a piece of steel on both sides.
you guys usually come up with some good ideas, so what do you think would make a quick solution? my engine already put a convexed dent in my hood from lifting upward
it's too late right now otherwise i'd take a picture to show where the welds snapped.

Either spend $200 on an aftermarket one or make your own. We made one out of square steel tubing for my 00 si and it works great. I dont have any pics but maybe PhilStubbs will see this thread and post up cause hes got some pics of it.

it a horrible design.. it's a oil filled cylinder mount with a free floating (joystick style) bolt uptop
