Hey, no "cutters"....get back in line

I think Dave Clark said that when he made mine, he used the 1/4" thick plate for that reason. You might want to double-check that though.

Well I should know by tommorow night, I have one good mount still but it's under my car so I can't look at it yet

Oh, the old "I've got parts" routine (what were the part numbers for the Group N mounts again? )

I picked 2 sets up from Ralispec for about $191 shipped. Go to their site and give them a call to place the order, the link to their site is on the first page of this thread

Okay, I'll have mine by Monday (still $86/pair + $8 for shipping)
-Bill (not about to give up his spot in line )

I have Jesse's old mounts

Well after two hours of persice measuring and angle locating I was able to fabricate a direct fitting, strong, and easily made adapter out of the finest rare materials.................6 big washers per side; go get in line at the hardware store.

Think you can put some dimensions on Mychailo's pics so those of us that want to go the "1/4" steel plate with holes in it route" vs the "6 big washers" route can make it happen?

Sure Mr. SCCA Tech Inspector, FHI ROUTINELY used these precisely made, plated circular devices you offhandedly refer to as mere washers for its tight tolerance interface of engine to frame...yeah, that's the ticket!

Sure. Well if I had a better plazma cutter or metal shear I would have cut a bunch of 2" by 2 1/2" aluminum plates with two holes drilled in the appropriet place. I spent most of my time trying to find a way to easily make the spacers but it was getting late so I just grabbed a few washers and bolted the damn things in.

In reality the washers will work just fine becouse of the way the mounts fit in the mount plates. The mounts sit in on the edge of the mounting plates on three corners and the washer hold up the middle. It never gonna go anywhere and it plenty strong (and if it's not you know I will find out first ).

You just need to grind out the mounting plate slots a little so they evenly go in enough to fit the studs of the new mounts. Stick a 1/4" amout of big washers on the studs and bolt them in. It puts them in just the right spot at just the right hight.

Sweet maybe I will start grinding and washering tomorrow
