Default Solution to Short Mount SC300's!

so i decided to help out ultra mount aka creative steel to make some solid mounts for our sc300's with short mounts. all short mounts for our cars/ mkiv can use this as an alternative rather then those who dont believe in hockey pucks. na-t guys, these favor you.

oem style:




reason why i got them? my oem mounts looked like thise after the stress of drifting.


so i got these aluminum solid motor mounts made for my 92 5spd sc300 by ultra mount/creative steel




i just tested these out today. car feels much more solid, direct bolt on. they used a single solid piece stud to increase the strength of the mount. not two ends like the oem version.

aluminum or polyurethane. so just pm me if you guys are interested! [ultra mount doesnt have a website available just yet]

note mods/cl members: i am not selling these, i am not a seller of this product, i am not a vendor, but i helped ultra mount/creative steel make these mounts available for us. no one sells them as far as i know.

Cool mod, but wouldn't it be fair to mention to the community how these transmit considerably more noise and vibrations to the cabin?

i believe those red mounts are from powerhouse. they are mde only for the tall mount, short bracket.

this is why the mount i help make, is for our sc with those of SHORT mounts.

powerhouse mounts = long mounts. and they have an angled stud, wont work on tall brackets

tall bracket - short mount

or the short bracket - tall mount.

That's a good observation as the photos and my wording both say they are from Powerhouse.

You are correct though they are for use only with the short bracket. I don't even mess with the tall brackets. Work fine in my SC.

Cool product you came up with though!
