K, one more update this weekend as promised! I got the engine mounts all done and built! It took some time, and a little creativity, but its all done and I have custom poly mounts! I borrowed heavily from a thread I found on *ahem*nicoclub*ahem* and decided to make my own. I used flexane 94 as the body of the mount and grade 8 hardware. Below are pics of the process! Now, the engine sits a good, low height and the driveshaft and everything fit! Now, I need to finish modding the tranny tunnel and sorting out the tranny mount and I can rebuild the new and improved firewall...hopefully next weekend! Check out the pics:
Two washers formed the top half (tig'd together) with one bolt welded, and the bottom half is one washer
Bottom and top held together by a small piece of filler wire
My mold, a harry and david candy container, lol!
Mold again!
2 mounts, ready to be poured
The juice of love!
Mixing the resin with the hardener
After letting the molds sit for a day and some cleaning after the fact:
Shazam!
Came out well...dont you think?
