i just got a set of the competition 1st gen mounts (need them to get the 20b lower)... but now im comtemplating making my own as you did. if you feel like describing the process/materials im interested. it would also be interesting to cast new tranny mounts in that same material. just trying to plan ahead for any drivetrain slop i may be in for w/ the 20b while trying my hardest to minimize vibrations as im sure they would drive me crazy.
anyway hope your doing well. -heath

I then prepeared the mounts, by burning any rubber left after dremmeling and cleaning them. By throwing them in the fire place. After that some more cleaning, and prepping. We then used a tin cup, cut a gole in the bottom for the bolt to go through, and sealed the hole with some plumbers goop, as I recall... then my cousin took the whole thing to work where he has a vented hood, since pouring poly gives off some sort of gas, I think Cianide (sp?) or something, not a whole lot, but enough that you have to be carefull. Once cured, we dremmeld out the part where the cup kept poly on the underside of the bolt... so there was metal, and room for the thing to sit like stock, and I put the heat shield back on, and 2-3 weeks later it was on the car.... I think my cousin said it needed 24 Hrs, to cure... and then with the heat of the motor it would become (practially) indestructable...

Engine torque braces simply transfer load to an undesireable area- which is why we designed our original urethane motor mounts with an aluminum sleeve that allows a limited amount of deflection. Although often imitated, our design has proven to be far more effective than torque braces or other devices. We welcome your input. For more info:www.rotorsportsracing.com
