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. |

Good morning - so when Patrick Motorsports says bolt-in what they are really saying is;
offer the mount up mark the bold holes drill the bolt holes mount it then weld it Like that? |

I looked at their site and they do have a bolt in firewall mount. Personally, I would weld in and be done but it's your choice. Naro914/Bob Saville's is $100 cheaper and as nice or better. |

It's this one: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=324206 Looks quite nice, especially considering the better price. |
