Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Is there any other brand I can use besides 3M for homemade polyurathane motor mounts. Because no one carry's 3M around here.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

where do you live? iraq
I've never done it but just get an other brand just make sure it's polyurethene and it dries hard

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

go to homedepot and get roofing caulk. It's in a black/yellow canister and it is 100% eurathane. I think the name of it is poly.....something.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

what mounts are you gonna do it too? i wanted to do it but was thinking about only doing the two easy to reach ones on the sides, think that will help any?

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

no, it will still be shitty. I have 2 aftermarket mounts on the sides for my b16 swap, and a stock rear mount. the aftermarket ones are stiff as ----, full mounts, but the motor still moves alot.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

that sucks, i really didn't want to take the rear one off because it looks like a bitch.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Or you could stop being a cheap ---- and buy the insert kit for $39. :P

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

and it's not messy ;)

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

To properly install those inserts you need to fill the mounts

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

hmm really? I better do some more reading before I install mine :P

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

oh it is, don't even worry about that one. there are 2 bolts you can get, the third one you have to loosen the rear sub frame to get to.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Thats funny? The directions don't say that?

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Then what in the hell holds them in and how would they make any difference? ???Do you just set them near the motor mounts and they stiffen them up? ???

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

my experiences tell me that you do. I had the inserts and they sucked until I filled them up. And of course the directions wouldn't say "Go to home depot and buy window weld"

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Mine seemed fine without it but ok.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

haha they worked better with weld, because at that point the insrt does nothinjg, just the weld does....

i say hang urself

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

they are intended to be zip tied in. but filling them works better. I prefer aftermarket complete mounts

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Serious? They recommend zip ties to install them? Damn, what a great product. I alwasy thought they were supposed to be glued in.

nope, they come with little zip tie looking things, like the ones you use to mount a fan to a radiator

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

mine didnt, liar, well judgin by the quad 9 5 coefficient, and a degree of 7, honda tuning states the zip tie would reduce the vibratory sector by at least 3/4////

good enough for me

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

I was just going to use the window weld instead of the inserts. I know I should get them but, thats still an extra $39 going towards a turbo kit.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

the window weld sucks da cock ;)

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

If you can find a body shop around you, try and see if they have any of that body panel adhesive that they'll sell you...i filled mine with that stuff. Dries up nicely, and feels just like a solid poly mount ;)

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

The local marine/boating supply store over here has ---- loads of urethane.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Substitute for 3M Window Weld
3M Dildo Weld

black drying urethane is the best
its sorta like roof cocking but roof cocking doesnt dry
its like tar :-\

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

I'm going to give this ---- a try:

It's very hard to explain to the 75 year old lady at Ace Hardware that you want to fill your motor mounts with polyurethane to stiffen them up to eliminate wheel hop and decrease 60ft. times in the 1/4 mile. I ended up telling her I was installing a windshield. ::)

Hey, Ravage70 is the last person in the post when you took the picture :P

I wouldn't have even tried boost, it's pointless, haha

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Why is it pointless? Have you used it?

I didn't mean that:

That was pointless, haha. :P

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Oh, yeah when she asked what I was using it for I wasn't sure what to tell her.

I hate it when they ask what you need it for. Liek when I went to Radio Shack to get 10ohm, 10watt resistors. I know what I[m looking for and there is no reason for them to be asking me what I'm using them for. It's not like they are going to have a damn clue what I'm talking about. Go into Ace looking for parts for a MBC............

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

i bought my window weld at napa
and out of curiosity i asked at car quest and they could get it there too.

or ebay...

if you look around you can find some 2 part urethane that doesn't take 2 days to cure; though its more expensive.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

i got mine from local carquest...but it was like 23 bucks a tube?? i thought it was only suppose to be 17 or so but i said ---- it and didn't feel like going anywhere else

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

whoa what the ----; it was $13 with taxes and ---- at napa

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

radio shack is retarded, I take less time finding my own ---- than they do finding it for me. and if you mention you're making something for your car they say they don't have it because they don't carry car ----.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

LOL, I can vouch for this. :P

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

On an ED? no need to loosen the X-member. Remove the fuel filter bracket and go straight down against the firewall w/ a extension. It's worked for me on every one so far.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

wow, I've working to hard for no reason. luckily I've only done it on my personal car.

Re:Substitute for 3M Window Weld
 

Wow, this ---- sucks.
