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 |

It's great to have an engineers confirmation ! Thank you Superhawk996 The skill for fabricating the chassis part and the engine part is obvious. Are the two plates to complete the set too much to ask ? Am I foolish for asking ? |

I think mcmark/maddog used and adaptor with the wevo mount because a couple years ago, the oem mounts were not being made, at least not at reasonable pricing. Now uro and porsche have the mounts available as low as $120. It looks like it would be pretty easy to reproduce the two mount plates and like superhawk, I'd like to use the oem rubber mount. |

Those plates would be awesome. If I had samples I would have. Bunch made. |
