I'd like to see some examples of installed engine mounts, please.
Thanks
KT

We can do that. An oldie and not a great pic. Mine is bolted in
with suitable doublers on the opposite side. Welding it in would have been easier. 
This is the Vellious mount which Rich copied and "improved".

Hi Trekkor,
Here's a factory /6 mount welded into a '74 tub.

Since you asked . . . Rich Johnson mount. Got a little carried away with the welder, probably didn't need a full bead all the way around. Oh well. May get paint on it next weekend if I'm lucky.

Trekkor..
this was a thread only a week ago.
tons of pictures in it already.
(at the time you weren't interested and weren't really looking very hard)
I hate to say it.. but do a search
I feel like this topic has been covered pretty well in the last day or two and 7pages of repetitiveness.
grumpy....

Those cover what's available.
You pays your moneys & takes your chances.

If the blogs worked you could see images of my installation of the "maddog" mount. I didn't bolt it...I just welded it in place.

Yup, mine was in my M.I.A. BLOG.
I do hope that they get reinstated someday......

How long does it take to install a bulkhead mount?
KT
Posted by: JOHNMAN Apr 26 2006, 09:47 AM
I would guess one very long day or two days tops start to finish.
I would strip the interior backpad area (to keep it from catching fire), I would mark out where the welds go and grind back the paint to get to clean metal to weld to, locate the mount and weld it in.
I would go back and wire-brush the welds, treat the area with metal-ready and POR-15 the welds. I would then go back and topcoat the POR and touch up any burned off paint.
Then it is time for re-assembly......

Do these kits come with instructions for exact locating on the firewall.

Center line of car and shelf is 7" from the belly seam.......lower if you want to use CIS without hitting engine lid latch.

I made my own, so I had to figure it out.
I don't know if the R.J. /Vellios or the PMS mounts have instructions. I would assume so, but it would be worth asking.

Trek, no offense but...
How much convincing does a man need 
These pics have been all been posted a gazillion times before
When you asked when starting your conversion, pretty much everybody told you to get an RJ (or at least a bulkhead) mount
I dunno, but the PMS bulkhead mount looks to be of the same contruction as the quickbar and seems to have the same ugly blobby welds
And now you're worrying about how much work it is to weld in an RJ mount and if you're going to make it to your next AX?
If I were you, I'd be worrying about how to keep my engine off the pavement...

We had a stripped race tub..... the weld, drilling etc...was two hours max.

Trek,
Here is my RJ mmount in my previous car. I called Rich and he walked me through the measurements and installation...2 hours max (assuming engine out).
I liked it so much I cut it out of this car and welded it into my new car also. There is no way in hell I would put one of those other cheap mounts after seeing RJ's work.
This shouldn't even be a question. Go with the mob mentality, call Rich!
