Has anyone done this to fc motor mounts? I know its a trick we used to use on 240sx and it works wonders.. just clean the motor mounts up real good, and have at it with some urethane in a caulking gun.

this is a random google pic of what im talkin about


Curious if anyone has done it yet?

*Please dont post "go buy some" if you don't have experience with this... seems like a easy answer to alot of threads pertaining to diy is to go buy some lol

 

do you know what an FC mount looks like? it doesn't work the same way..there are no gaps to fill in.

 

its like this right?
im sure u could cake em, the 240sx mounts where simular where u have to cake it


there could still be at least a 40% improvement in stiffness with a $3 tube of urethane.


heres another pic.. its perfect! Its got a cup you can basically just pool the stuff up to it and once cured it will be hard.


Ill do this maybe in 2 weeks when i wont need to drive the car.

heres pics of some 240sx mounts *not my pics, and he used the wrong type of urethane,


*he used the wrong stuff, but you get the idea*, we did this to my friends mounts and they worked great.. I had went solid mounts in my old 240sx at the time so it was different.

 

I'm not sure the tube urethane would cure strong enough, but I guess you could try and see how it works.

 

Its not gonna work.. Like they said.. No gaps.

Go buy the cheap stuff of ebay. I got the whole set. for 40$ shipped. Motor,tranny,diff

 

Yeah, it won't do anything for an FC mount.

 

I have heard of liquid nails being used but why dont you weld yourself up some solid mounts? lol talk about a bone crushing ride

 

tried it already, waste of time. my father works for a company that pours, molds and cures all types of urethane products from paper machining rollers to prostetic replacment parts. again no place to fill. the stock mount is 2 pieces, the upper portion which is shown in pics above and a lower steel cup that sits in it to prevent too much rocking or twisting under torque. only cure is and entire new center section, however the mounting points are 2 seperate bolts not 1 long stud. so you would have the option of making a new block of stiffer material and drilling it out and running one larger bolt/stud through the middle creating a much stiffer but still slightly dampened mount.

 

Honestly, for what it costs, just get aluminum blocks with a holes drilled in them...

 

the urethane works just let it cure 100% ,, i done it on my dads saab cause the stock mounts cost around $360. so instead of paying that we decide to fill them with a 15 dollar tube, its a quick fix.

but like the others said theres no holes or ribs like the 240sx mounts which you can fill around or cake them

 

I plan on doin this to my Diff and Subframe mounts in the next couple weeks till i get some from mmr direct , i'lll post how it works out

the diff and subframe have the gaps
