Good morning - just doing some planning here but it looks (to my undereducated eyes anyway) that the weld-in and bolt-in mounts are similar. Do people use the Patrick Motorsports one simply to avoid welding?
It looks like a bolt-in one would need holes drilled in the firewall to mount it? Thanks in advance for the schooling. |

I believe that mb911 (Ben) is working on replicating the factory mount, though I don’t know how far along that project is currently. I have the Rich Johnson mount in my conversion but do like the concept of the ‘swingdown’ mounts.

I have one of the Naro mounts on a car and I purchased a 2nd for the next build. |
