You should have seen the first gen mounts! All they had was a round Allen bolt! I was the first to have them fail along with many others. I guess their fix was to use a hex head bolt lol. What a joke. Overpriced **** if you ask me. I'm glad I never installed my yellow replacements.

On that same note, per my other thread, you mind to post or PM me the exact measurements and specs of that mount? I have some cheap, forum member made, solid mounts in the works.
Thanks in advance,
LAW

well you wouldn't want a long threaded rod going all the way through the mount. that would make it a solid mount (but a weak one prone to failure)
there are much better fail safe motor mount designs though...
after seeing these pictures will be avoiding UUC mounts though

I just received my Ultra Mounts from Max. Haven't had time to put them on yet, but they look like pretty nice pieces. And I believe he backs them for life.

Here's a qoute from UUC from your thread
Regardless of what the initial cause was, we are implementing a design update that will eliminate failures. These update actually has a couple of new features; a more secure mechanical retaining system (bonding becomes a secondary, redundant safety measure) and an anti-rotational hardware design to eliminate rotational damage to the assembly.
We are confident that these updates will restore the "bulletproof" nature of the part.

What a joke assembly.
I talked to the owner/pres of UUC and he wasn't much of a reassurance.
This was after the "black" failures.
He took no responsibility for the original design, he just owned the company........................
As for this design, I say he owns it.
Everyone knows UUC treats the Cadillac owners like "red headed" step kids.
