Motor Mount thought

[TYTILIDIE]

So Ive been looking at Moroso solid mounts cause of how cheap they are and realized they are a different size. So I went down to Autozone and got me a new set since they are under warranty. I took one out of the box and got to thinking, why not just weld metal between the plates making them a solid mount? Anyone have any thoughts on this other than the fact that its cheap and kinda ghetto?

Wow...that is a pretty ghetto thought. My immediate thoughts....if you're going to have to take the stuff out to weld them together, you might as well pony up the $100 and buy the right stuff and be done with it forever.

Well I already have my motor out so that is why I thought of this. Yeah it is ghetto huh.

I don't see just how you are going to weld it to take the rubber out of the equation. Unless you cut and grind a piece of steel to modify the stock mount. Then you still have the rubber that will eventual rot away.

Send a picture.

Re: Motor Mount thought

Just drill a hole through and use a 1/2" bolt/nut. Keep tightening as the rubber degrades.

Re: Motor Mount thought

I had problums with shedding moter mounts on my 95 S-10 I went and bought the syclone mounts and 4 3/8x3 grade 8 bolts and drilled two 3/8 holes thrue the mounts. Put the bolts in using two washers 1 on each side and a lock nut. Then tightened them down untill the rubber just begins to compress. Bolt them in in place run your thrue bolt thrue then tighten you bolts that go thrue the mount down untill the engine set level or is tight. I have be running these for 6 mounths now and have had no problum with them and the engine has never offered to move once on me. Just hope you don't mind feeling some vibration in the truck from the engine running.

Re: Motor Mount thought

just get either the RPM of JSM frame pads and the Moroso Solid mounts and be done with it once and for all, thats what i did and the install went pretty smooth with the engine out. I also replaced a bunch of other parts and am happy i went with the solid mounts over the poly or even just trying to modify stock rubber mounts.
