OK this swap is killing me. the driver side motor mount bracket is bent. i removed it with the remnents of the old motor mounts for the SR. The KA bracket will only line up on the bottom and not the two top holes under the turbo. do you think cutting the KA bracket to just suit the bottom two holes will be alright? i have 3 days to finish before car get towed. any ideas?!??? help im desparate. and when i say bent i mean i can even get the old motor mount nut off because of the way its bent. its pretty thick so i dunno how i would bend it back. HELP

Get a handheld tank torch for brazing and heat that bolt up cherry hot and you can have your way with it..careful, cherry hot iron is 1400 degrees.

If you smoke the rubber in the mount, who cares! 3M has a spray that you can rebuild it with.

You need a machinest to be with you if you can't fabricate an adapter plate.

Hehe, careful though, if you smoke the rubber too much you'll get some nice dampening fluid in your face.

Fibercus · 07-20-2003, 12:42 AM

my guess was a forklift, when they were moving it around (place where you purchased motorset)

what you guys think?

Muzzy · 07-20-2003, 12:47 AM
