Innovative Mounts

 

That's another way of doing it... Having the steel pin through the mount is very, very important. You don't want it to ovalize after a period of time. Not matter how solid the mount is, it still will transfer the torque somewhere. You also want to have the steel pin to be flush with the face of the solid mount, not pertruding it, the whole objective is to have the chassis bracket and/or bracket to sit flush with the face. You want as much material as possible to sit on the face of the mount. If it's just touching the steel insert, it'll flex and break your bracket(s) or ovalize the insert (steel or aluminum) it will happen. Hope that helps you

 

Not to tread jack, but at what time do you need to go to solid mounts. Im in the process of rebuilding my car and I need mounts. It will be about 50/50 street/drag. It will be around 500whp for the street and around 650 if I run race gas. I need mounts for it and not sure if I should run the 93 inserts or solid? Thanks for the input.

 

Honestly, 85-90A durometer inserts are useless... It yeilds a higher content of plastic, they still flex under load and I believe it was just a replacement at the time for not having a complete solid mount. If you're making that kind of power, I wouldn't worry about vibration. That's the number one problem, is that the general public want's to make crazy power and not sacriface comfort. I'm not sure if any of us can do that in these cars. The solid mounts would be the choice for performance benfits, to transfering power, no driveline movement and help a lot with wheel hop. I hope this helps you with your choice.

 

helps me decide thats for sure since driveline movement is what im having issues with

thanx to all for the replies

 

you can just torch out the rubber of the mounts and weld in some metal

 

Thanks for the info tepid. I just emailed Hasport for more info on converting my current mounts, but I may still just sell them and get the Avids to avoid the hassle... It's nice to have the option though

 

yeah i called them and yup 100 bux is it although they wanted to get me into a stiffer eurathane insert i just dont wanna hassle with it at all so solid it is for me

 

Thank you for the reply. I was leaning towards the solids. I have Kirkey Pro Drag seats and a ten point cage going in, so I'm not to worried about that much "comfort". Ill definitely be getting the solids. Thanks

 

cut a hole in some flat bar and weld it to the mount.cheep and easy.

 

we make solid inserts for our mounts

or you can talk to me

takes a day or 2 to machine the mounts out to accept the solid inserts

that is correct

the inserts are anodized black

i remember talking to you

 

yup man im going to have this done for sure im currently in transition from kansas to ky though lol so it might take a second

 

Do you locktite everything? But it will bark 4th real nice.
