for comparison..


Thanks for the pic of the OEM sheetmetal. I initialy investigated trying to find OEM metal but that was a losing proposition both from availability and cost perspective. Nice score!

Yup, that explains it -- softened radius vs. MadDog mount that was a sharp corner that interfered with the URO mount.

A few minutes with the grinding disc and I'm good to go.

I sold an oem mount for $600 a couple years ago. It went quickly with multiple offers. Probably double now.

I plan on opening up that area on my next set of blanks, but I will modify the rest of my current stock for any customer that does not plan on using the WEVO mount.

Ben, parts are live on the website now. Upper bracket $80 and the lower bracket is $50, I only have 8 of each available for this first run. Depending on how fast these go, I will do a larger quantity run next.

I have some of these new plates on the way to me..
It was great dealing with Dave during the building of these.
We went back and forth for what seamed like weeks (really only a few days) getting these just right.
Great guy, great products, and great customer service. What more can one ask for.
Now buy these up.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Thanks Luke, I couldn't have made these without help from members like you. This is what I love about this forum, there is always someone willing to help or share knowledge.

I'm bulkhead mount heavy at the moment. Originally ordered the MD mount that uses the modified 911 bar. Recently ordered this "original" style mount and really like it. Just ordered the kit with the factory mount and hardware. Pretty excited for this mount as it looks like you don't have to relocate anything.

There are lot of positive design elements built into the OEM braket and isolator that I don't see in the other aftermarket solutions.

I don't think you'll regret using this design unless you're using very high HP outside of what the factory GT ran.

Big thanks to Maddog for making these as well as the mounting hardware kit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
