Hi everyone.

I have stock MG motor mounts on my swap. These were only designed for 100 hp and the passenger side mount has ripped very badly. I noticed a small bit of separating on on one of the corners of the driver's side, too. I tried to take some pictures, but it wasn't easy as space is limited.

Obviously, I won't be driving this in it's current condition.

I've already replaced the passenger side mount once, so it seems to me that these mounts just cant take the power I'm throwing at them. Is there a place that could make some stronger ones for me, or do I need to try to adapt something else?

Thanks,

Darian

having someone fab some up might be a little costly but theres no harm in looking into it

Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

Or you can just run a bolt (with fender washers and shoulder nuts) through a hockey puck like some guys.
