it's not going to be solid, it gets filled with urethane, the solid center pin is set in there now to check the installed height, the aluminum collar around it, will set the height of the pin while the urethane cures, then the collar will come out, this will leave a different center pin locked into the urethane mount and a gap of about 1/4 inch around the pin. I have to order the urethane, it will probably be later this month, it gets mixed with the activator, poured in, and then takes about a week to set. the durometer i'm going to use is about the same as the energy suspension motor mounts

did some more updating on my exhaust thread, this system is turning out to be a son of a bitch to fit, the clearances are so tight under this car, it's a wonder how a wooden mallet to a heat shield can create that 1/4 inch clearance you need https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...6#post44600166
