RPM Solid Motor Mounts

I recieved my Solid Motor Mounts from RPM today. When I opened the box, there was no hardware included. On their website, it says "Sold as a Kit, with hardware" So, I called Customer Service and this guy who works there for the last 2 years, says that they don't include Hardware with the Motor Mounts. This makes me think that I'm supposed to reuse 17 year old bolts. Are you guys getting new bolts from the hardware store?

I appreciate RPM making one off products for our trucks being that there isn't that many SYTY specific shops out there, just it would nice for them to update their site and include a Shipping conformation notice, being that I had to email them for a Tracking number.

BTW, Beautiful welds on the frame pads.

I picked up new bolts and nuts from the hardware store. Mine didn't come with new hardware either.

I was understanding when I bought mine it was just the motor mounts I was getting . Mike will be happy to supply hardware at a extra cost which I only paid $5 extra for the ones I needed for the 4l80e adapter .

Re: RPM Solid Motor Mounts

Well, if someone just spent $100+ on something, it would nice to include hardware. Especially when it says specifically on the website. Now I have to go to the hardware store and find new bolts because I'm not going through all this trouble replacing the Motor Mounts and using the stock ones. Just my :2cents:

Not trying to put RPM down, just giving my opinion. Would recommend buying from them!

Re: RPM Solid Motor Mounts

IMHO the only bolt that might be included would be the through bolt. Reuse the others and be done with it. They ain't gonna break...

I re-used the frame pad bolts on the 2 or 3 motor mounts I have done with out any issue. For the engine side I got some grade 8, 3/8 bolts. I did the same for the through bolts too, just picked up some grade 8 bolts and lock washers. I hear what you're saying though, it would be nice if the "kit" came with all the hardware but its not a big deal.

Mine didnt come with hardware either and I remember I was surprised but have access to free stuff like that at my fathers workshop so wasnt exactly a problem. BTW stock bolts wont fit even if you want to reuse them, so gonna need to get some new ones

Re: RPM Solid Motor Mounts

If the ad clearly said" kit with hardware", then it should include some kind of harware.

If not I would call it faulty advertising.

Shame on RPM :tdown:

Re: RPM Solid Motor Mounts

use lock-tite, lock washers, lucknuts, lock everything. Just dont lock them down until everything is centered. I rotated my front diff down, and had great access to all the bolts. The hugest pain for me was getting the motor/trans oriented correctly in the engine bay. I had the engine in and all the bolts started, and the whole shbang was in there all caddywompus. The tranny was off 2" from the mount :tdown:. But once i got everything lined up, i cranked it all down, and its good.

Re: RPM Solid Motor Mounts

If you still need hardware send me an email. The website needs some updating. We haven't included hardware in years, but if the website says "hardware included" it should be included. On a positive note most of you have been receiving quality tig welded frame pads for the same price we offered them 5+ years ago and back then they were mig welded (takes 1/3 the time). Sorry for any confusion..
