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 |

Hey thanks for posting the pics of your weld. This is invaluable. I should be starting mine relatively soon and have the same mount.
Now, I currently have the Wevo setup sitting with the mount, I wonder if I should abandon it for the OEM style. |

Ben posted elsewhere that he was pretty happy with it and that he had set up his car for comfort ride rather than as a track car. I'm just very picky. The downside of my job is that I used to get paid to do NVH work. Once you learn how to hear and feel some things in tuning a car, you can't un-hear or un-feel them. I'm the guy that can point out a squeek, or high pitched whistle you've never heard. Or maybe that low frequency vibration you thought was the road . . . but really isn't. From that point on, you'll hear or feel it daily and then it'll drive you mad. I've learned to never point out such things in my friends and family's cars! |
