What about motor mounts made of......

cross posted…

and for those who can’t view it, here is the original posters suggestion:

"Y not use wood for motor mounts its solid yet flexible. Or phone book chunks (they can stop knifes)
I’m sure those are stupid questions "

followed by " oh and the phone book chunks would be wrapped in duct tape don’t no if that will change sum responses"

awesome :tup:

Cocaine is a hell of a drug…

Wood coild be used… laminated wood is VERY VERY strong… especially if they are laminated with the grain going each way the people making the wood supercar had some interesting numbers for strength to weight of wood… but i imagine the heat would dry and crack the wood… and there are certainly better materials then wood, but it COULD be done… if you want to just do a proof of concept…

The phonebook idea is shit though…

:picard:

but paper is made from wood! :mamoru:

LOL at ryguys title

From the context of that guy’s post, I am going to guess that he was thinking more along the lines of using a 2x4.

If you are going to spend the time to fabricate some laminated wood, and cut/shape to work, you might as well have just gotten some thick steel and welded them up. You wouldn’t save any time or any money really. That’s the biggest reason why that idea is retarded.

his teeth were made of wool.

my thoughts exactly till I realized that he was talking about using 1. wood 2. phone books.

Crack is a hell of a drug
