Thread: Dog bone replacement mount setup... no more dog bones! Solid and it saves weight.

I should have three or four of these kits if there is interest - this mount kit was designed by Janice from ClubGP. I have this running on a locals turbo car and the car I took pics of for this which is a big supercharged build thats 350+ whp.

If anyone wants one Id probably let them go for $125.
If there is a decent amount of interest I could make more but it would have to be at least in lots of four to keep cost on the main aluminum piece down. Kit consists of 1/2" thick 7075 aluminum mount, steel plate with tabs TIG welded to it, two needed bolts, spacer for bottom bolt, washers, and one nut. The bottom bolt going through the tabs that secures the mount to the cradle is one of your stock bolts that you are replacing.

Final aluminum piece will be nicely cut on a band saw or water jet cut if I can get them to do it for a decent price. Installing the kit requires you to disassemble some things to gain access, MIG welding (can all be done from above), measuring, and drilling one bolt hole yourself in the aluminum piece (the bottom hole) either after accurately marking the hole with everything already welded and mounted or by drilling the hole on the car.






This is pretty much everything. The bolt going through the tabs is the stock trans > engine bolt.





I did all this from above I didnt get the best looking weld but it penetrated nicely and should hold just fine. Also, a suggestion made by Janice is to weld the seam on the front and back of the cradle piece that sits under the mount.


All bolted up and ready to go.


Update:
We have this setup on a car here making somewhere in the realm of 500whp.
He is maxing his 80# injectors and we will be going bigger with the fuel setup.
Car has virtually zero vibration in the cabin with this dogbone replacement setup.
