These are the 2 differential mounts that go from the subframe to the differential assembly. The help solidify the rear end and prevent drivetrain-breaking wheelhop. These parts are sold as a pair and must be welded in place."
I have the machinery and materials at my disposal, it would only take me 30 minutes to turn those if i had the dimensions. Anyone?

gimme til the weekend. i made mine during the winter. i think i still have a CAD file on my other pc of the dimensions.

as far as TT and SC/NA supra solid mount compatibility you can just go to a toyota dealer and ask for the part number for the rear diff cushion. compare the part number for the TT and NA supra. then you can also call lexus and ask for the same info.

compare the P/N. im 995 sure they will be same. toyota is not stupid. they interchange as many parts between as many cars as possible. thats why they are so successful

my saying: if it fits a supra, its 90% will fit an SC

I agree, if dimensions are available, I would love to turn some.

i measured the diff insulators in the spare subframe sitting in the garage. it came out to just under 89mm OD.

if you cut the disks at about 88.5mm and weld them in you will be fine. if you want to press them in then make it about 0.010" interference or roughly 89.25mm.

the thickness on the disks i made was 0.5"

the holes in the middle i cant remember off the top of my head. i can check that later. it uses either an M8 or M10 bolt.

These are nice and are better designed than others on the market.

Its machined to match the taper of the factory washer, helps with spreading the load. Other bushings use a normal small washer which could eventually cause a failure. Plus these cost less to buy, so they're better on your wallet too

Just so happens I do. First pic shows the factory mounting hardware and how it mates to the matching contour of the bushings. Second is how they look after installed into the housing. All this can be done at home with simple hand tools......no press required.
