Rx7roller02, I tossed you a PM when I made the post above. Is there any movement on this? I have his cell number if that will help move things forward.

 

Dang. Sad story I wanted one too

 

i'll be looking into what Darren started here, don't worry. the OEM diff mount in my TII is hanging on by a thread and clunks periodically so i'll be working out a more permanent solution similar to this.

i'll only be using steel though. i highly doubt aluminum will handle the job.

 

Years ago there was a different guy on this forum that was selling semi-solid front differential mounts. I want to say he was selling them for like $140 and then you'd get a bit of money back after you him shipped your broken core... I ordered one from him, and I have had it ever since. But I do have a pinion snubber, too. The quality is great... Wish I could find his damn thread...

 

got a picture of his design? i'm feeling too lazy to come up with unique ideas lately. not like there's many that can be used for this application anyways but i do like Darren's idea with replaceable pucks that take a straight load versus the stock mounts that use a torsional load.

i did mill the rubber off a stock mount and was going to use replaceable puck mounts but it seems to be more work than it's worth once you get down to the skeletal frame of the stock mount with the push through rivet mount bolts.

 

His design wasn't unique by any means. You know what he stock front differential mount looks like... It was that. He just used some sort of stronger/stiffer rubber material... Or whatever the hell it's made of.

 

hmm, i wonder how he fused it to the steel backing.

 

i wonder if he ever actually made it pass the paper design

 

I am not sure what your referring to, but I have one installed on my car. Karack and I are talking about a mount that someone else made. Not the one at the beginning of this thread.


Either he has the technology at hand... Or he may have welded some barbs to each piece of steel, and the stiff rubber-like material, in liquid form, being poured in between the mold/barbed pieces of steel easily just stayed in place. Thing is, it looks fused. Who knows... I wish I could find that damn thread. I'll go back and check my RX-7 e-mails and Paypal hustory. It had to have been back in 2007 or so.

 

Ha check out what some time and stolen designs can do.

 

id be down for one of those, i got the cash in hand

Lloyd

 

More pics br4nd0n...!

 

THank you sir! now i shall go outside and steal your design! But seriously, thanks. I have been picking my brain on A. How to make a powder coating oven that runs off wood B. how am i going to sump my gas tank so the fittings fit C. what am i going to do about this diff mount...

 

 

 

How much?

 

 

That is too damn sexy!!

 

I think you better start making these things,Pronto!!!
I want one..Yep..I do!

 

If this is real I can Paypal you Thursday

 

those looks awesome, with replaceable pucks too.

 

FWD: Price. $150.00

 

hey br4nd0n, what ever happened to the paypal transaction? still not able to get money? if youre in modesto, we can arrange a meeting and just do cash

Lloyd

 

Wow... Thos are looking nice! And $150 is a pretty reasonable price.

 

if he's listed as being in modesto now then that makes me scratch my head further as to if this is that piece of **** who ripped everyone off the first go 'round. Digi7ech already mentioned he and darren were friends, or at least knew each other...

not to dig up dirt on a possibly decent person but be careful before sending money to this guy.
