New torque arm bushing mount for M6 trans
Here's what happens when you have to much time on your hands. LOL
I have allways though the factory torque arm bushing mount that bolts onto the M6 trans is Poor, stamped steel with one bolt holding the bushing together. I tryed a relocator bracket but got a lot road noise. The trans mount helps isolate a lot of the noise it seems. So I made this,(I know I know) WAY over engineered, figure it's 250% stronger than it needs to be, but what the heck! only a couple of lbs more that the orginal unit but a bunch stronger.
Some more pic's with it mounted up to a tail shaft with the bushing, are here.

Very nice. I had drawn up something similar and sent
it to Yank to see if they'd build it (A4 is what I need).
Never seen anything from that.
It looks like you're first on the "market". You wanna
make me a one-off A4 version?
