Projects Repro 32 trans mount

Hi
This is just a heads up for anyone who may have bought one of these, I fitted this a few years ago at mock up stage and recently stripped my ch***is down for paint and noticed the mount has been machined so thin it has cracked without ever having been on the road,
So if anyone has bought and fitted one of these I would suggest you inspect it.
Regards Graham

 

Who made that?

 

I think he went as hot rod Jon hence the HRJ cast into it I have no record of his details, I bought it off ebay a few years ago when I could not find an original, not so easy to come by in the UK. I have now fitted an original.

 

HotRodJohn also mfd. the '37 LaSalle long stainless shift sticks, very tough project. (tough to do, and tough when finished!...also 'tough' at $200 a pop)
Other products were well designed, but 'pricey'. This is the first of this product I'd seen...Yes, thin.

 

I have managed to find an email address so have sent him some pictures. hopefully it is the correct email address.

 

HotRod John has been notorious for making substandard parts for quite a while. He's been discussed on here several times. He may have had some successes but also some failures.

 

I have not had a reply from the email I sent, would anyone know an email address for hot rod John ?

 

If you want to learn about other HotRodJohn products, do a search on Unisteer here on the HAMB.

 

I heard that Hot Rod John is deceased.

 

That's sad to hear, I hope nobody has taken over making these parts.
