? on makeing motor mount bracket

is 1/8" steel plate too thin to make a motor mount bracket out of?

 

use cold roll steel and box it in someway. you will be fine

 

if your design and welding is good 1/8" will work. some pics of what you are doing will help to answer more completely.

 

That depends how you design it. Without trying to be a smart ***, I think if you are asking the question, you probably don't have enough engineering / design experience to build it strong out of 1/8". Therefore I would err on the side of caution and use something more substantial like at least 1/4".

It still depends on your design though. Maybe some more info would help get the answers you want.

Aside from the design, I think the most important missing piece of information is what kind of engine/car are we talking about? Stock 4 banger or blown hemi?

 

i was just looking for a second opinion.give me few seconds ill post some pics

 

scroll over>>>>>>>

 

its for 223 inline six( 54 customline)

 

Either your hands are very small or that's not 1/8.

 

thats the original bracket(1/4"). i need to make another one.

 

OK, that's telling you something then, isn't it?

 

alright thanks
