Reinforced motor mount or paperweight????

[mrecoolgar]

Allen called me after his call to SHO Source.
From what he told me, it appeared that SHO Source would not help.
Allen said SHO SOurce says all sales are finale.
I suggested to Allen that he ...
1) Bring the mount to me and I would modify to fit.
2) Report a claim to the Attorney General.
3) Make a post on shoforum.com under the hall of fame or shame.
Allen brought his SHO to me for a PS pump replacement.
I had also tried to install the reinforced mount to no avail.
It appears that the valley support rod/tube was welded in position too high (circled area).
The paint was wore away from several install attempts.
This causes the thru bolts to miss align with the weld on nuts (see side view).
The receiving side of the mount must go higher to allow the bolts to engage the nuts.
We did a bit of grinding to the valley support rod/tube but more is needed.
Allen is a good guy and I support his claim.

We are willing to exchange it if there is a problem but he has yet to provide any information we have needed to verify what is wrong. SHONut has made lots of these mounts and this is the first I know of with any problems.

If he would provide the information we have repeatedly asked we could move forward with figuring out what is wrong.

If you give them the chance, they will help you fix the problem. Now that somebody has described what the problem is like they asked(picture requests). I'm sure they will make it right.

I don't get along with you at all. But this is the truth, and the most coherent post I've ever read by you. I'm with shosource. F U without information...... oh and who are you mrecoolgar? You could have easily taken pics and asked questions. Get back in your hole.

If he wants to appear as a good guy, he needs to edit his original post, IMO.

Also, if you could provide pics of the actual mount, that would do WORLDS amount of good toward providing a remedy to this situation. The upper part of the mount is a single piece, how the valley support rod can have any influence on the alignment of the bolts on the upper piece escapes me. Again, pics would do an amazing amount of good. Perhaps Allen is the only person on the planet without the capability to capture a digital picture and put it on the internet, I don't know. Otherwise, it seems like a very simple/quick/easy solution, sending a pic I mean. If I understand correctly, this is a SHONUT mount. I have no doubt, that if in fact the mount was modified in a way as to cause it to be unusable, Josh would have no issue with replacing it promptly.

You know, the more I think about it, it is probably just easier to contact the Attorney General than to go to the trouble of taking a picture of the 'paperweight'.

I deal with ******** like this everyday at work. You want shit fixed but don't want to do anything to get it fixed except run at the mouth. There is a process to fix things. You can continue to be a tool or you can follow the process, stop being a *******, and get things fixed.

If mrecoolgar says it wont work....it wont work. period!
He is more than capable to determine this.

 

[Inkertinker]

turn it over, it will fit.


really this can not be that hard.......where is the problem?

it don't fit, which bolts?

We need to know what is wrong. We need these measurements taken so we know what is going on:

Some pictures to show an install:

From SHO Nut

We weld the eccentric rod in place to keep it from spinning, after it's been pressed in place. I would have noticed if it moved before welding. So I would have to have been blind and brain-dead.

Furthermore, if you look at the two attached photos, the bolts are closer to the reinforcing rod than the bracket itself - and this example is a regular reinforced mount where the bar sticks up higher than an EXTREME mount, where the bar is pressed further into the mount.

The client has told us in an e-mail that he can thread both bolts in. Thus both bolts clear the support bar, and there should be no problem installing the mount. The bracket isn't even close.

Who is he, Chuck Norris?

I'm more than capable of installing an HD mount, but if I had trouble, I'd work with the vendor to troubleshoot, rather than go off on a belligerent rant.

The OP still hasn't offered to work with SHOSource or SHO NUT to troubleshoot the problem, from what I've seen. Until that happens, all his ******** and moaning is falling on deaf ears.

Attorney general, indeed. lol.

 

[SHOhopefull]

Wow at the sniping in this post... I agree that the OP went about this in the wrong way, but To attack Kevin? It's my understanding that he(Kevin) has rebuilt/restored quite a few SHOs... am I wrong? Granted, I think the AG part is a extreme without exhausting all other avenues with the Manufacturers', which appears not to have been done.

I realize I'm pretty much a nobody, but I'd rather not lose potential sources of information be chased off the board... Just sayin'...

Tim, ********** do that all the time.. I recently had a douche mail me back a core 10 days late.. (30 days on invoice) and (first core I received) the core was smashed to peices.. He then emails me (ME) demanding his money back, I told him that the 30 day period was up and I bought another piece with his core money and he was out of luck. Sorry but rules are rules I tell him.. So then he complains to the BBB, which I wrote a nasty return back at him, then the guy goes to the Mediation dept of Mass, then sent me a letter and I sent them the invoice and they said im in the right.. The AG's office called today over this I told them to tell him to POUND SAND...

Best part!!!!
Core 50.00
- shipping 12.00
his return would have been for 38.00! Less pay pal fees. ALL this for 35.00.because he did not follow the rules of the sale.

I shit in a box today and sent it to him and marked it core return! EAT ME!

Im so tired of babies and people that dont have a clue!


Kevin, if you can contact this guy have him send me the mount.. I can repair for (shoNUT or SHOSOURCE) for free and send it back.. im the clostest and wont cost shit to ship.. If this is ok with Josh, Kurt and Mike of course.

 

[biker889]

And that my friends is what SHO Forum is all about...

 

[mrecoolgar]

It's up to Allen to follow through as he has the mount.
I felt I needed to post my experience with both Allen and the mount.
There are always three sides to every story: side A, side B and the truth.
I suggested the AG based on what Allen had told me.
Read, it was a dead end.
I have no dealings with SHO Source and pass no judgement.

And if you really want to know who mrecoolgar is... do a search.

 

[SuperHO]

ya know, i've been bustin knuckles and swearing loudly at these cars for the better part of a decade. i've progressed from bare basic automotive skills to being able to pull my intake in less time than it takes to listen to an old Metallica song. i've replaced the entire suspension on a 98 SHO with nothing more than hand tools and ratchet straps, but i still occasionally find something that stumps me. ****, i've pulled motor mounts, done nothing to them, and damn near blew a blood vessel trying to get em back in. just sayin....

 

[red1990sho]

I have sent SHO Source pictures of the motor mount. I am awaiting their response. The bottom line is this part was not a bolt in accessory, even keeping in mind the thought a reinforced mount would take more muscle to install. Three different men couldn't do it. How much muscle should it really require?
I feel confidant, since I am adhering to the necessary steps in resolving this matter, that Sho Source will make things right for me. I paid for a bolt in accessory, which I clearly did not get. Due to the high regard in which this SHO community holds SHO Source, I am sure I got the wrong impression of them, and that this matter will be dealt with appropriately and professionally. Thank you for all of your time.
