Fun with motormounts!

I have fun making motormounts. Usually I come up with a different design for each car. Here's a couple. Lets see yours!

Excellent designs, keep up the good work. Working on a couple soon, myself.

i dont even compare.

Cool thread, nice creativity. Being tech week and all, how 'bout some tech post on building these or the thought process behind them?

 

Where are you guys getting your biscuts for your motor mounts?

 

I like the poly donuts for a 73-87 chevy truck cab. I usually buy the hole pack and use it for different stuff.

Good ones Clark!

Here are the set on my Model A with a 348

 

Iron and Pro...nice mounts!!!!

I used to get my biscuts from speedway but got a case of them at an auction. I'll be good for a couple of years now

As far as tech...I do each one different. Mock the motor up and stare at it for a while. It will come to you. I do like using round tube when I use the biscuts.

Nice work. Cool how each is so unique. HAMB chock full o' talent.

 

Trying for a OEM look. Hammerformed the frame mount with a little help from old bluetip,

 

Nice work, guys!

 

Here's what I came up with for my truck. One day, they'll get finished ground and nickel plated.

 

A real cheap option for motormount biscuits is to use vulcanized rubber stoppers, available in various sizes from the local hardware store. They're almost identical to '55-'57 Chevy rubber biscuits, and they cost less than $2. Just drill the appropriate sized hole through the middle.

From an engineering standpoint, the biscuit styled mount is considereably safer. Many of the other mounts pictured, though extremely well fabricated and certainly strong enough to hold the engine, put the bolt through them in shear. For those style of mounts, I'd use no less then a grade 8 bolt.

 

i seen a few guys use hockey pucks for body mounts,,, donno why they'd not work for an engine mount... any thoughts?

 

Would work and I've seen it done, but they're wide and harder than most rubber cushions I've seen. It would do very little to reduce vibration. They make great body mounts though

 

I love these the most. They have style and function. FANTASTIC!

The ones I made for my roadster...

 

Don't you guys know they now make BOLT-ON motor mounts, readily available hehe. I'm like you too Clark, I'll sit and stare for a while til it hits me. Some nice work guys.

Heres mine for the olds 455 in my sedan

 

Page 1218 of the McMaster-Carr catalog. I used P/N 9376K62 and I selected neoprene for its oil resistance.

 

I finally think I am making progress on my Anglia and read this !!! Now I have to redo my motor mounts !!!

 

here are the set I made for Kevins lil bucket. I thought these came out kind of neat!!!!! Belly-pan/skid-plates are next but definately needed for a 1 1/2 scrub Tallest part of the car so far is right at 28 1/2 in.

 

Lots of cool motor mounts!!
Clark

 

Cool mounts guys, I was looking for some ideas for some of my own. Anyone else have any that they'd like to share? The more the merrier!

Ben

 

bttt, I'd like to see any more ideas you guys have. Especially insulated mounts. Thanks,

Ben

 

Thought I'd bring this back up since I have done a few more mounts. The last set I even got creative on what I used for the bushing part. I used an A arm bushing from a 40's or 50's car. Unfortunately you can't see them in the pic.

The other one uses a standard early Ford biscuit on a Y block.
Clark

 

Clark, kick ***. I'm exactly opposite, I always use a suspension bushing, but for my next set I got a set of the biscuits to try out and see what I can come up with.
You're stuff is super cool! You always make it so hard to come up with something original when your always cutting edge.
