Differential Mount Failing - Any Solutions?

I have a relative with a high powered FC and has broken two stock differential mounts due to wheel hop.
He's tired of replacing this part.

Does anyone know if anybody has created a replacement part that is stronger?

Any other ideas to help eliminate wheel hop?

He has stock shocks and rear end.

He runs Nitto drag radials on 3rd gen stock wheels.

Thanx,

Ken

there IS a competition mount sold at various places mazdatrix, mazdacomp, mazdaformance and others have them. Also add a pinion snubber like AMUR_ did to help the mount by taking away some of the sheering force.

You can also make your own solid mount with a small block of steel, and a welder.

Yes, yes it would. Though it would put less stress on them then a broken mount.
