Making the conversion to a 6 cyl, we have several choices to make with mounts, exhaust, fuel, oil tank, engine tin, ....
I recently purchased the OEM mount from Mad Dog, you couldn't ask for a better fit. It nestled into the recess and allowed basically no room for error. I socked it in with a couple self tapping screws and went ahead with the plug and fillet welds. I removed the paint from the mounting surfaces with paint stripper and cleaned it up with a sanding disc prior to welding From what I understand the factory placed additional reinforcement in this area. Running the welds for this mount I sensed it the way my MIG was acting. I bet you could pick the entire car up from this mount. Very well done Mad Dog |

so not happy with how the first prototype turned out, I did a couple of changes and just ordered a new set of blanks @maddog Really not so bad for a 1st try. Definately usable. Love that you're seeking perfection! Keep us posted when you get something you're happy with. I call dibs on 1st in line to buy from you! |
