If you guys send me the measurements with your patterns I can take care of it quicker then that. Ask Jim I was the lowest bidder and about 3 weeks early. We do that stuff daily so it is no big deal.

Yup, e-mailed him one day with the measurements - and had the parts the next week across country. He even called the day he shipped with the info and final billing.

Fast and courteous too !

Worked up some ideas for the trans mount. This one still isn't quite right (a little too square or flat or something...) but I did a mock up to see how it would look. Hope to drop it off at the machine shop Monday.

The bushings are from Pete and Jakes. It's their 4 bar link bushing. Got the part number from Alan Johnson - it's what they used on the G-Force 'Cuda.

Need to adjust the rear instant center this weekend so I can finalize the rear suspension tabs. Read the Adams book on how to measure and set that - thanks Rodger for pointing it out ! Unfortunitly I don't have a clue where the center of gravity is now - so I'll have to give it a wag...

Then it's back on the upper section of the backbone and more notching. Plenty of work to do....

Default Design Options

Other options for the mount.

I took a design cue from TJ's dads challenger mount and adjusted the top so it's not flat and tucks up under the Diff. Then I dropped the bottom at the center point so it's not flat. (Kinda looks like a Batman shield now ..)

#1 is the same concept as the above post - with adjusted top and bottom.
#2 is with a lower bar added to #1.
#3 is from a design cue off the Diff cover (2 arrows pointing in)
#4 is with a center bar to #3.

Like any of those ??

if I have to choose one from a catalog I'd go for #3.
If you are to make it from scratch why not machine 356 or the Porsche logo to it??
just an idea
