thats some seriously thin metal to be used as a mount… i’m sure adam could make you a new piece cheaper and stronger ---

That mount looks pretty weak to me as well… FWIW my trans mount is a 3/4" thick piece of Aluminum. That diff mount looks to be 1/4" at most :Idiots ---

And maybe weld small reinforcement. ---

Shady WTF were you thinking buying this??!?!?!?! there were no failures known when i bought it… people were making some decent numbers with it… Ill be getting a stock mount and using plates and welding it solid as the stock mount has a failsafe in it in case something like this does happen ---

From the looks of it, my lawn mower probably has more than enough torque to mangle that diff mount:rofl ---

Someone failed their engineering degree pretty bad with this piece. That piece of angle has zero chance of sustaining the torque load applied to it, ESPECIALLY some double gauge welded aluminum. Bring me that entire piece of shit(for measurements) I’ll make you something that will not twist like that pretzel.

Hes also redesigned a new one in a cage type fashion like the stock mounts as a fail safe, so even if the acctual mount/contact points from the chassis to the back of the diff broke the diff has something to fall onto and keep it held up to prevent damage to the diff and rear end along with being able to limp it carefully if needed. Anyways hes a nice guy not an engineer, it was whoever acctualy makes the mount, hes just the guy with the ideas and the funding to do it for our small community. Anyways it was nice of him to call me instead of just throw me an e-mail [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-i-ran-a-10-90/246126.md?page=2)
