Cool DIY cheap LSx Urethane Motor Mounts ;-)

I have been using these at $59 per set they are a pretty good deal IMO.

$59 includes the plates, ears, bushings, bolts. Better deal than the trans dapt 4501 mounts, IMO.

I'm picking up a pair of those plates from LII next weekend, with an entire Eliminator chassis attached to them

We might use those motor mount plates on my brother's 240sx swap too.

They have got fuel systems down to a science too.

I was going to fab tabs or short pieces of tube from the bushings to the subframe but he's been reading the 240 sites too much and would rather spend more on bolt-in kits vs fabbing the stuff even though we have all the tools.

I used the Liquid Iron bits as well...very happy with them. For the price, they were well worth the time saved.

I prefer the more compact version rather than multiple pieces sandwiched together and zero flex , not rubber and for less including bolts and tabs.

I might give it a try when I get my setup going but my project is moving at a snails pace.
