ok i'm broke, and most of the mounts are ripped to pieces... so i going to make my own mount inserts. I'm having a hard time finding the right rubber 4 the job. My idea is to use either a rubber hammer head, hvp, some type of rubber compound mix, or MAC MAsters has a poly thats the same as hasports mounts that i can machine down. I have my own lathe but don't know what material to use. I want to machine down the rubber and pess in the rubber with a steal sleeve just like innovatives steal mounts. I also have a mold injector.
thanks for any help!

todays my birthday, and happy new years!

 

ive heard that you can refill your mounts with 3m window weld and its supposed to be stiff

 

I've used 3m window sealant many times.....it works quite well.

i am using innovative 85a mounts, and i filled my torque mounts with 3m window weld. ive heard it breaks up after a while, but ive had mine for two years and so far so good, and yes they are pretty stiff and there is a lot of vibration.

 

Im ordering this to test out a new mount system we are working on for a RX7 FC RB25det swap

I never tried 3m but I used Bulldog Polyurethane for roofing from homedepot

How do you like it?

 

weld them with steel plate!! I did my lude this weekend or you can order any urethane durometer in block,bar or sheet form and shape it to what you need. We just got a 36"x2" 85a for 80.00 for a project at work, theres enough to make mounts for your whole car. pm me if you want the company contact info.

 

ok i already knew about the 3m window tar.... i dont want that stuff. i had hasport mounts in my crx, but i sold the car. now i just want to machine out something.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by ismkv8s &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">weld them with steel plate!!

but thanks for ur input....anymore ideas?

 

the stuff i linked to is pretty hard stuff, and it can be injected into molds. seems to be exactly what you were looking for. use this stuff, plus a steel sleeve like most poly bushings do and your set.

95A is pretty hard material.

 

high build polyurethane

 

how much did u have to use? i mean its sold in lbs would one pound be enough?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Jon@ForcedFabllc.com &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">the stuff i linked to is pretty hard stuff, and it can be injected into molds. seems to be exactly what you were looking for. use this stuff, plus a steel sleeve like most poly bushings do and your set.

I was thinking about doing a hydro swap in an EF - to the chassis. Adding hydro lines, clutch master cylinder, but for a d-series. Nobody makes a working d-series cable-hydro kit, so I'd have to make my own tranny mounts.

I found real polyurethane on mcmaster.com, and I could make more than enough with a lathe and steel pipe. I figured I could machine it as two pucks, each with a lip similar to how Energy Suspension bushings are. Weld a divider in the middle (like how a shock tophat is designed), and you have vertical and horizontal stability.

I'm sure you could use any chunk of cheap harder rubber like a mallet head or a huge bump stop for a truck or something. The stuff from mcmaster is just what they use in hasport/innovative mounts.

 

just wondering...y do u want to do a hydo swap? i'm a little rusty but isn't the crx si tranny the best suitable tranny for sohc? last time i had a sohc was back in 2005.. i got a taste of bseries and haven't returned. my old crx was so fun!! i miss it . any ways back on topic.

 

ive always liked the 92-95 civic si hydro tranny the best.. for sohc.. its the closest to a b-series if u rev to stock rev limits.. 40-60-90-120

the 3M in all the mounts and the tq mounts worked fine on my 400hp D been in there least a year and a half still looks good..

 

So i bought the devcon flexane 80.......its work better than i'd hoped for!!! I only filled the tranny and driverside mount and the motor is solid! I back this 100% super stiff mounts for only 34.00 bucks!!! its sold in lbs and one pound is just enough to do the 3 main mounts.. i just filled in the blank spots in the mount and bam! it was done in 30 hours!

 

Good to see it worked out !! i dont even remember how i stumbled across that stuff.
