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

3/8ths for each top and bottom of the mount right?

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.

id make them before i spent 50 bucks on them. thats all easy to make. all you need is a drill, drill bits, and a right angle grinder with a cut off disk, bam spacer parts are made.

most have these tools or can borrow them.

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.

N I'm not seeing 3/8 online there so I'll have to check. I'm thinking 1/4 inch on top n bottom will be good enough because they have that. Or ebay has 3/8 steel plates 8 inches for 15 shipped. 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.

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.

That's 3/4" wide, n we need 3/8 tall by 1 1/2" wide by 1-2 feet to make enough.
I think I'm going to order a 1 foot by 1 foot 3/8 plate off ebay.
Do you guys know if it should be aluminum or steel? Or will it not matter?

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.
