Default Bolts and flat washers Undy

undy Dave the easy way is running a bolt through the motor mount with double large flat washers on each side. Niloc nuts work great. This allows the motor vibration to be absorbed throught the motor mount and not passed on to the body and frame. You don't tighten the nuts after both sides contact the mount. This also saves the motor from snapping out of the mounts. If you where not doing so many burnouts this would not be happening. Rick L. Ps make sure that the trans mount has no suffered the same ordeal as the motor mounts. If you go to a poly mounts for the motor the trans mount need to be changed too. That link may cause cracks in the body or frame. It works great but there is a down side. We where cheap in the old days and used chain. Rod is more adjustable but you can rip a hole through the frame over time. Been there done that. The bolts worked the best for me with a chain and adjustable shackle in the middle of the motor and trans. Having one in the front only, breaks parts. Live and learn Rick
