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

All of my /6 mounts are bulkhead ones and have been from Rich Johnson.
I have torn down a number of /6 projects that were hack jobs back when I was actively parting out unfinished project cars.....at the beginning of the 914 internet family....I was finding unfinished projects and picking them up for $.05 on the dollar. I even snagged a running converted sixer out from under Bradholio's nose in his backyard once....towed it home and sold some, kept some. It was fun while it lasted. Too many other people are doing it now and the competition makes it unlikely to make any money AND get free parts like I used to... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Anyways...the quick six mounts and the Patrick mounts have issues....flex, low clearance and lack of accountability from the seller/makers are the big part of my bitchiness....the fact that Steve got hosed bugs me as well. I WILL not sell/give away a used mount unless it is a bulkhead one....I toss all of them in the shitcan. As to my animosity towards Jim Patrick.....it involved a phone call back when I was a newbie and doing my first conversion. He treated me shabbily and I heard a few things over the years....never met him, don't wanna meet him, and don't plan on burying the hatchet anywhere except somewhere that hurts....there are too many nice guys on the net and in my backyard to have to deal with an asshole. I know "I" can be crusty....but I will give the shirt of my back to help someone and stand behind every one of my deals to make to it right....I have taken back parts, paid shipping both ways and done total refunds. I have given away stuff that to me is junk but can be a rare find to someone else.....but if "I" think something is worthwhile...I can be a hardnosed trader as well. I like hanging with the 914 crowd as they are generally a little looser in attitude than the 911 crowd....the 356 weenies make my butt puckeer. I only play with them to piss them off.... Well...that's enuff about that... |
