fabbed some solid motor mounts.
ok so heres the story. i am switching out a lower mileage engine into my miata. could not get my hands on a set of oem ones soon. the mounts on the car were shot to hell. and my other set were cracking.
so i read some on doing this so i understand somewhat of what ups and downs are of these. but if i do not like them i will order a set of poly ones.
i understand they will rattle and what not. looking for more if anybody has ran them and what performance i can expect will not be driving until tom. just got done with these and installed them with my engine.
so let me know what you guys think of how i did it. how they look and what i can expect BESIDES RATTLING i get that i will get a lot of that. ill deal

well i can order some of those mmrs if i need to but i figured this is a cheap alternative. and i dont think i did it wrong at all so worst case is a order a new set. i think it will be fun

The shift feel cannot be beat, but when your PPF bolts come loose, your motor mount nuts rattle off, your alternator tension bracket falls off, and your rear view mirror is totally useless at 2200rpm, you'll be reconsidering them. I'm switching my car from MMR to Comp mounts, and resigning myself to the fact that I'll break a set every 6-8 months.

well if theses are too bad and i dont like them with the rattleing and all the maintenence involved i will just switch one side and keep one solid.
and i doubt these will ever break under the force of a stock motor. these are strong. they will break something else before they break
