914-6 motor mount, RJ or PM Options

[Trekkor]

I've heard Rich Johnson's is great and Patrick's is trouble on this board.

Others I've spoken with say Patrick's is fine and doesn't break. Also Patricks headers are supposed to clear the shift linkage so no mods req'd.

I'm not afraid to weld in a mount.

What are the major differances between these mounts.

The project WILL start soon.

I have used and installed them all, here is the scoop according to me: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Rich's - Best choice if you can do just a little bit of welding. more work. I bet you could get a complete kit from him for around $450?

Patricks moly corss bar - Rocks, used them for years, easy, easy, easy install. Used them on track cars, never had one crack or break. They don't hang low at all. Use factory 911 engine mounts in the 914-4 engine mount area. Trouble is you don't save any money. Moly mount is like $350 shipped and the 911 mounts are amlost $100, so unless you just don't have the time like I did get riches.

Vellios - Good like Rich's, but Rich's is nicer, better thought out.

Other bars - if the bar goes straight across like a stock 914-4 bar does, run away. They get in the way of everything it seems. At least the Patrick moly mount bends up out of the way.

It is just about choice. I would recomend the Rich mount and if you don't want to weld or take the time to install the Rich mount, use the Patrick Moly mount. Because of time, I used one one mine. They work just fine.
