Does this mount solid or should I be using rubber mounts like the 911 sport mount on my trans?
Thanks KT |

QUOTE(914RS @ Dec 15 2004, 07:39 PM) I'll also say, that although some dislike Jim Patrick (you'd think he killed MikeZ's dog or something), he has been nothing but attentive, responsive and respectful to my suggestions and concerns. I have to judge individuals based on my personal experience. Jim seems like a nice enough guy, and I don't really have anything against him. However he's has put some products out there that needed more development. The engine bars are one of them. I purchased a rear caliper spacer kit that he used to sell, and the fasteners were wrong, and the seals that he supplied with the kit weren't compatible with brake fluid. The seals lasted about a year and a half, and then went bad and started leaking brake fluid. I did purchase one of his engine bars, and it's still working. He didn't tell me that you had to modify factory heat exchangers to work with it though. I would talk with him before doing any modifications to that bar. IIRC it is stress relieved and heat treated. The thing I didn't like about the bar is that you can feel the engine bounce when you go over bumps. I'm sure the chrome moly is strong enough, but like an airframe it flexes. I was totally unaware of any failures when I had my car with a 3.0 and his bar, but I can't say I didn't have any concerns. |
