I know someone on here said they made some motor mounts with material they got from Mcmaster-Carr. Has anyone made tranny mounts from raw materials yet? I'd like to put some stiff mounts in, but would rather not pay the awful prices for them as opposed to what the materials would cost. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the stock mounts on an NA S5, and the appropriate hardness of them between stock and competition?

 

Nobody has any ideas on this at all? What did people use for the motor mounts?

 

I have heard of people using windshield caulk, the black stuff. Like making a mold and then chaulking it in there, it gets really hard and sounds like a good plan.

 

buy mazdacomp mounts or use a hockey puck

 

<=============== Just put a chew in and is going to straighten yall out... use a 2x4 just get your good ol hole saw out there and custom make yah some bushins for your mounts...

On a serious note though, a 2x4 will work.

 

Actually there are a couple 400HP+ TII's running Wooden mounts.

LIGNUM VITAE is a hardwood used for bearings in certain applications. Don't laugh
