Right here, just go off the sizes of my mounts, but 3/8ths each side is what vinnie does to equal a full set.Quote:

Did you try getting a hold of Vinnie. Seems like a lot of dinkin around to save $50.
unless you have the stock,saws and drills.
Meh, go to home depot get 10$ aluminum flat bar at 3/8 thick n make a few cuts n drill holes. Simple rather than spending 50 bucks. Just like egr block off plates I made.Quote:

most have these tools or can borrow them.
I didn't realize they had 3/8 stock.
Well good deal, it sounds like you got it covered.
Yeah, I could probably use a dremel to cut.
Where does that spacer go without the holes? Under the motor mount?

home depot and lowes both have a fair good metal stock area. round bar flat stock, angle iron.
i helped my friend build landscape racks for all his equipment inside the new trailer he bought. all metal stock and hooks came from the depot.

we added maybe 6 more custom brackets/holders to it, and moved a few things around since these pics.
Yup motor mount.Quote:

N yeah, drill and grinder/dremel with cut off blades. They don't have to be pretty, just clean or round the edges a little to prevent digging into anything.
OK my brainfart, I didn't even think when I got mine.
I have the makita grinder and discs plus titanium bits for drilling......oops...didn't wanna deal I guess.
Jomamma>>>the big one goes under the engine mount base.
No I hear ya n it'd be easier to just buy them. But I have the polys off the car and can test n make sure it all fits. It's easier to just buy em n throw them in if you're not swapping mounts all at the same time. I just figured to save a few bucks n it's easy.
I know I checked before I went with Vinnies. I am all for doing things myself for fractions of pennies.
I ended up thinking if I did it.....I would order it from metal depot. I wasn't sure on the size so I pulled it and ordered them.
Lowes has itQuote:

That's 3/4" wide, n we need 3/8 tall by 1 1/2" wide by 1-2 feet to make enough.Quote:

Do you guys know if it should be aluminum or steel? Or will it not matter?
Aluminum.....we don't need any more rustables
Vinnies are aluminum, although it wouldn't matter besides the rusting issue
Lowes ace home depot all carry flat stock. Use aluminum mainly because its easier to cut and drill through.
Okay, that's what I was figuring. N I might go check in store today. If not order online. But I wasn't seeing any in 3/8 on lowes or hd website.
