^^^^^^^no, not at all. the actual build up of these would be simple. the only reason i asked was because mckinney sales similar sets for there rb conversion mounts and every set ive used the actual studs tear out of the urethane. i have also fabricated countless custom solid mounts for ka/sr and rb so i would not have to steal someone elses ideas.

In fact all of those things can adversely affect durability. I.E. to low of a durometer will shear a lot easier. Improperly applied bonding agents and how you anchor your studs will affect this as well. I do not know about Mckinney. Though I do know some competitors run a stud straight through the mount. This is not an advisable thing to do. It will cause severe vibrational transfer. Which will manifest itself in the cabin of your car. I.E. dash rattling,seat vibrating,mirrors shaking. LOL I will admit that it does seem like you were probing for proprietary information. If not excuse me. Though I am in the business of selling these mounts and that is not the kind of information that I would readily disclose. LOL In fact I have already described how we make these mounts to certain extent already in the lead post in the group buy. Now with that said we actually have a New Year and a New Generation of mount. After feedback from track users we have actually upped the durometer on the mounts from 70 to 80. That does indeed give them more shear strength. With that said lots of people have used the 70 durometer ones on the track and not had any shear issues. We just felt if we could improve without driving up costs we would. So Now the Mounts are GREEN!! Yup British Racing Green and 80 durometer. Same price but a even better product.

I have heard of people discarding the heat shield we used to sell with them. It was a cost prohibitive thing to manufacture especially if people were tossing them. To keep costs down I stopped doing the heat shield but stress it to everyone I sell to. In other words yes you need to use a heatshield be it the factory one or one of your own design. If you do not it could cause a heat failure. If someone resells my mounts to someone else and does not mention this that could be a problem. Oh and if someone uses a impact gun or air ratchet to tighten down the bolts it can over torque the studs. They are lock lugs and just need to be tighten downed with a ordinary socket and ratchet. There was one batch that the bonding agent was not applied properly. It was actually prior to the last generation as well. Failure happened immediately and those were warrantied. There are many people using my mounts now and for several years with no problems. In fact Racepar1 purchased a set over 3 years ago, tracked them several times and they are actually still in use in Raiglide's car as I speak still performing. I do stand behind the product. Did you actually even read the last 5 pages of the review Kyle? There is pretty strong testimonials going on here. Oh and buy a set you will like them. Do you even own a S chassis anymore?

Yes, I read the thread and all the praise, which is why I was puzzled when I saw pics of the mount that had pulled apart. I do still have my 240, and it does need new mounts. I'm still pondering whether I should go with your mounts, or try out the JGS rubber mounts. |

Hey DF, can you make an engine torque dampner? Maybe you have a source for the parts. I added one to my car... GOD it made a huge difference.... I mean HUGE difference in shifting consistency and feel....

I like that you changed the color of these No offense, but that yellow was a bit 'much' for me.

cool Johnny, ya give me a shout we will get you squared. Oh and now for everyone. We have talked about the trans mounts and here is the deal. The trans mount is more complicated but we are trying to make the best trans mount out on the market. In other words it will come with studs for the exhaust hanger. No other aftermarket trans mount has this. Now this will not be a cheap mount it is going to run around $80 per mount. It will be the newer green and 80 durometer. If ten people are serious about committing to this and are willing to wait 3-4 weeks for the initial run then we can do it. It will not happen without ten commits though. You won't be sorry I can tell you that much. lol Oh and there is a possibility of the return of heat shields with the mounts, though that will raise the price of the mounts another $10 Speak up and give me feedback on that. Thanks again guys.

Just have people cut up the stock mount.
Once you cut out the inner rubber piece you can use the other metal U that has the studs out of it. Super simple and makes for easier manufacturing. |

Either way you look at it, time is money and what you propose is time consuming. On top of that the stock mount is bulky in comparison, to anything aftermarket.
