No. The one with the gusset broke my motor mount I think. Didn't we talk about that before or something? I only vaguely remember having it on for a bit and something went very wrong.

That's right.. It actually stripped the bolts out of the mount. I had to drill bigger ones in there. I replaced the mount and went back to the original design.

It sounds like somebody needs stiffer roll stops.



. . . of course, then your fillings will all rattle loose again . . .

Yeah... I tried a solid mount and that sucked. I could hear every little noise the engine made and it was very loud.



I tried poly fill and they were too stiff. I thought this was good. Maybe I can find another mount location.

The poly was too stiff and the rubber was not. It squeezed the poly out.

Mine stripped one of the motor mount bolt and broke the other. Before I took it off I had troubles with the dampner coming apart. I loved driving with this item but Grade 5 bolts are a requirement for this upgrade. Somebody needs to make sure KFX (Bill) tells people this or more problems will be had.
