Default DA motor mounts! Easy fix!

Now i just recently swapped a '92 B18A1 for a '97 B20B. Got it super clean and what not. I had to replace every motor mount I had. All destroyed.

So...I purchased the rear mount and the front mount. Did not get the Trans/motor mount or the driver side mount. My mistake.

As you all know, finding reasonably priced after market mounts for a DA can be disturbing. I learned a secret. You can fill them! You may have heard about this before but i found a for sure solution that will make your STOCK, BROKEN mounts work great!

Surprisingly, I found the liquid poly urethane at Advanced Auto. $17.80 a tube, yes. One tube did three motor mounts! Possibly all four for smaller mounts. This stuff was called Windo-Weld. Yes, the same urethane used to glue windows down for your car. Fast curing process and remains nicely malleable. I was told that a waiting time of three to four days would be necessary. I couldn't wait that long. I placed them in my oven, at around 110 degrees (typical summer's day in San Antonio) overnight until the next day around 5:30.

They were extremely stable and I was certain they would work right away except they were still really warm. So we let them sit overnight again letting them cool for a total of two days. This will make your stock motor mounts, broken or not (i used them in my new mounts too) performance mounts. Having sturdy mounts will account for faster response to all drive train.

Recommended for all to use with any car. Expect slight vibration. Pm me for any questions!

It's a perfect solution. I don't feel any vibration and my car has much faster response now! I used it with totally broken mounts. If it's all the way destroyed and the middle falls out, you can align and use duct/masking tape to hold.

I thought I was going to need tape to hold the Windo-weld in, turns out, the stuff is so thick, it holds itself! Don't worry about perfect alignment, they will have a little play so that you can adjust when in the car.

It would be the second link. The Window-Weld from 3M. It also comes in a white tube similar to the Window-Weld but it's called Windo-Weld. Works the same, as long as it comes out black and thick. Mine costs $17.89 a tube.

***Should say it's a sealant too. Fast cure time as well.

Inserts for stock to mild setups.
Solid mounts such as Hasport and Innovate for anything else.
The other methods for anything but the tq mount are STUPID!
It may work however it is not a solid fix and is only a band aid.

The other methods are ok to use on the tq mount(connects trans to crossmember).
Before they started making aftermarket ones I bought a new OEM one and filled it and packed it.
