I am wanting to gauge interest on making some poly motor mounts. I am currently in the process of making mine and I have come up with a way of using the stock sleeves instead of trying to use a piece of copper pipe that will never hold up. I also leave the metal ring inside the mount. This adds strength to the mount.
I am wanting to do a core type system so that I can have the mounts pre made and keep the turnaround time short.
I have a powder coating operation where I will be able to powder coat the motor mount any color you like. This however will cost more than the unfinished mount and likely take more time to get your mounts back to you.
I have a couple questions for you guys.
1.) How many of you would be interested?
2.) would you guys be interested in the powder coating option? (Due to time vs cost restrictions I will not offer powder-coating unless under some special situations i.e. Show car)
Just a estimate at the moment I am thinking $115 shipped for both front and rear mounts unfinished with a $50 core that I will refund with return of your old mounts.
If you can keep up with the demand, that sounds sweet to me. I was contemplating poly mounts for my NA build, but wasn't sure on which way to go. If you can offer them for that price, it sounds pretty sweet to me.

Just a little update. Due to the interest I do plan on pursuing this idea. I am currently in the testing phase of the project. I will not speak to the Mods until I am 100% confident that I am putting a good product out. I will not waist your hard earned money and my time on something that is not going to hold up to the abuse.
If you guys/girls have any questions or suggestions. Please feel free to PM me.
I am currently running prototypes on my car. I have to say that I love them. The car feels like a sports car should. I can honestly feel the clutch engagement and the gears meshing during shifts. There is slight vibration in the car during idle, but goes away as soon as I accelerate. I no longer have issues with finding gears under acceleration. I also noticed the car sounds incredible in the cabin now.
I have not put the car up on the lift yet to inspect the mounts. I don't feel any need to yet. I am going to give it a few more weeks before I inspect them or if I feel something different that may raise a concern.
I can and will post pictures of my next set. I would have taken pictures of my first set but at that time I was unsure if I wanted to continue making them. Its a PITA to get a old set ready to be casted.

Thanks, I am able to keep the prices low as long as the "core" system works. Otherwise, I have to hunt around for old mounts or just straight up buy new ones. That would get expensive quick.
I really dont want to break up the sets. We will see though. I need to make another mold to keep things moving. If there is a high enough demand for just the rear, I will consider it.
I agree, I have looked at pictures of the tranny mount. It will be hard to cast that. If I can get a hold of a mount, I will start working on a mold for them. I dont think its impossible just not going to be a cake walk if you know what I mean.
If anybody wants to donate a tranny mount for me to work on, I will pay the shipping. Just PM me so we can set something up.
I have crunched some numbers for you. If you want just one mount I can give it to you for $75 shipped. Its not as good of a deal as buying the set but its still a cheaper option. The core will still be $50, its imperative that I get the mounts back if I want to continue doing this.
I am all for trying to do the tyranny mounts as well. I need some help from the community though. I have only found 2 salvage tiburons in my area and they are pretty well picked apart. I will need a sample part to build a mould from. I am willing to pay shipping if someone is willing to send me a donor mount.
look up the part number for an 01 tranny mount. Theres a salvaged one in my town and if its the same one I wouldn't mind picking it up and shipping it to you to help make this happen
-BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1041571
V6 6 speed trans.
-BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1041576
V6 5 speed trans.
-BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1041572
V6 Auto
-BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1041573
I4 5 speed trans.
-BECK/ARNLEY Part # 1041575
I4 Auto
All different part #s, but comparing the pictures to eachother on rockauto, they look the same for i4 and v6, manual or not.
It's just a little difficult to be 100% because the pictures are not all in the same orientation, but the bolt locations all look the same to me. I'll grab stock part #s.
I'm still working on getting a old set of mounts for you I4 guys. Its hard to come by parts for these cars where I live and I have had little success on here getting a old set. I don't expect them for free either. I honesty think its the time of year. Holidays and all going on. I will keep you posted when I make a mould for the I4 mounts.
Hah! He has PMed me a few days ago. Hes a really cool guy. I am waiting on a quote from him regarding the mounts and a few other parts I am needing. Shipping is going to suck though.
