13dollar custom engine mount(s)big pics	Sun, 10 July 2005 10:25

a while ago i asked about options for strengthening engine mounts so thought about it for a while spoke to the old man lol we came up with going to a 4x4 shop and buying a nissan patrol neulathane (spelling) mount. this will vary for different cars but mine is a 162 celica with a 3sgte. i removed the front mount punched out the inner ring which the standard rubber mount is connected to. got a bit of 3inch tube with 4mm walls. welded that into the outer ring of the engine mount then i cut off as much rubber as i could from the mount which holds the sleeve which the main bolt goes through. then added the patrol mount into the stainless tube, added the sleeve and test fitted and then later installed it is 3 times as firm as a normal engine mount but still not engine vibration. aint a real good write up so ill post some pics my computer wont let me cut the pics down so sorry [&img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/wilo86/cars /mount-components.jpg[/img] [&img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/wilo86/cars /mount-car.jpg[/img] [&img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/wilo86/cars /mount.jpg[/img] [&img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v287/wilo86/cars /inner-ring.jpg[/img] cost me 13 bucks in materials lol not to bad [Updated on: Thu, 25 August 2005 21:56] [Report message to a moderator]

You can also buy blocks of polyurethane at plastics suppliers (generally cheaper than buying it from suspension places), and if you have a lathe, make up mounts to fit whatever you need. [Report message to a moderator]

What are the dimensions on that urethene bushing? (I know ID is 3", but what is ID & depth?) Looks pretty close to what I need for another application [Updated on: Thu, 25 August 2005 05:26] [Report message to a moderator]

memory is vague but 73mm rings a bell of the eurathane , and depth dont mater it comes in halves , and mine dont meet each other... but if they were together about 60mm combined even if this mount is not suitable for your application you could linish it down but they have these mounts for just about every 4x4 you could think of , diff mounts etc one has to be suitable [Updated on: Thu, 25 August 2005 05:38] [Report message to a moderator]

Would you consider making these for people on toymods? Like a full set of mounts for the engine and gearbox? [Report message to a moderator]

personally i dont think doing the other 3 mounts will help a whole lot more that mount takes the majority of the torque from the engine with that mount. the engine now doesnt get thrown around the engine bay. for me to make replica mounts i need the old mount. [Report message to a moderator]

Oh ok, cool. I filled my front engine mount with polyurethane, it seems to have done the job. But i think my gearbox mounts are shot, might have a look at them and maybe polyurethane them up. [Report message to a moderator]
