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.

 

I just bought one. That mount is the gayness.

 

yeah just go aftermarket. mount is uber gay. but autozone has them for 55 bucks with warranty.

 

i would buy one for 55 w/ warranty, but the thing breaks when I was N/A, so I know I know snap them EVERY TIME I go into 3rd now

 

Can you add some bolts to that welded mount? The weld will takes less stress.

 

what exactly do you mean by adding bolts? there's 3 bolts that go into the chassis to hold the mount down.. the stress is up top where it flexes

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