Newman's 1986 BMW 326rb build thread.

Rubber mounts are for pussies.

ok, i welded up some motor mounts today. the pics look like crap because i took them about 2 seconds after liberally dousing them with flat black spray paint.

I basically welded them right to the frame rails of the car. There is a relatively large backing plate of 1/4" mild steel solid welded to the frame rail, then gussets made of 1/4" and 7ga mild steel holding the motor.

Compared to the stock mounts, this would probably hold a bridge.
