motormount question.

[Freshusmc]

has anyone made solid mounts out of stock ones? how bad is the vibration if so and how to do it? or if the is a earlier post on this can you point me in the right direction?

i would use the search button as there is tons of info on here about this topic. All reinforced mounts (even the ones you buy) start as a stock mount. lots of people just drill holes through the mount and run 1/2 inch bolts through the mount. like i said before the best thing to do is search. i would imagine the vibration would be pretty harsh.

[kikkinasphalt]

your better off with reinforced mounts vs solid ones.

You do not want a solid mount, somehting will brake otherwise. The best is a reinforced mount.

You do NOT want any solid mounts.
Reinforced engine mounts are the way to go.
Several member's on here make them (including myself).
You can post in the Wanted to buy section for mounts here on the forum.
Reinforced mounts can also be purchased through one of our great forum sponsers!!!

Like what? Pictures?

Like Aluminum Subframe Bushings, or a bolted shut motormount.


I also strongly agree that you do not want any mount to be solid.

 

[TYSHO]

I am speaking on what will solid mounts break and where are the personal pictures from the experience?

i have solid ones the nvh isent that bad and i have alum bushings too its not all that bad u can realy feel the motor but if u dont like that kinda thing then go reinforced. i have talked to ALOT of people who have worked on cars for meny meny years they have all said as long as ur not drag striping the car or autox all the time then solid are fine just check ur bolts on the mounts every so often and tighten as needed so its up to u but the nvh does go up but u can live with it easly

[raff18]
