where to get front motor mount

[t5535]

I cant find anyone that has a front motor mount for a 93 mtx. Does anyone know where to get one?

Look into fixing your old mount. There are old threads on here that explain how with a bolt and some compound that hardens after it is mixed.
Don't throw out your old mount if you buy a new one.

There is at least one reinforced front mount available in the classifieds right now: http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=106398

 

[AREA 91]

I have several sets of reinforced mounts on my shelf.
P.M. if interested.

How bad are they, and how aggresivly do you drive the car? I reinforced mine with some bolts and urithane from McMAster Carr. I know alot of people that just go with the bolts and are happy with them. if your not wanting to do it yourself, then there are a number of forum members that have them avaliable.

they are not to bad. the rubber is still there but they are seperated. This looks like a inexpensive and quick way to fix them. Im just currious about the end link bushings. are they gonna help vibration?

From my understandng you dont need the endlink bushing. If you are bolting it together, you would be keeping the rubber in it correct? Im not 100%, but I would think keeping the rubber would be plenty to handle the NHV. I know my vibration increased, but mine are bolted and then poured with rigid urithane.

 

[t5535]

yes the rubber would stay intack. would the bolts be enuff to hold it without the urithane?

You're going to have a lot more vibration under acceleration if you decide not to use any bushings between the bolts and mount. Just FYI.

Use fat, strong (grade 8) bolts and they will hold.

Ok I put the bolts in 4 grade 8 with no bushings. vibration incresed quite a bit at idle. gonna try and put some bushing in there to help it. the vibration is not that bad but still dont like it. makes me think the car is not running right ya know. When RPM is incressed the vibration mellows out quite a bit.
