Quick thought

[1statv]

So I'm about to put my motor in my new frame and I came across the idea of covering the top Motor mounts in jb weld (for metal) something like a perfect mold. I think it's a good idea since we all know the top motor mounts are not that solid . I figured a layer of jb weld will help with that. What y'all think??

 

[YAMAHAULER]

it will most likely chip off over time with the vibrations from the motor

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Yes jb weld is a very brittle and not good for structural support

Hmmm didn't think of that . Any ideas on making the mounts stronger?? I can be the test piglet .

 

[YAMAHAULER]

most weld washers on to strengthen the mount point
I'm having Weston do it to my boys mounts cause 1 broke and the other is half cracked

 

[1statv]

So just weld a 1 thick washer right over the hole??

 

[YAMAHAULER]

something like that
I'm sure someone that has done it can fill ya in on how to do it

[YAMAHAULER]

That's what I'd do.

Lol mine broke right off both sides so I had the welder at my dads work weld em up! (They are thicker than stock now) Still holdin up!

I made new ones out of 10 ga sheet metal. Just copied originals onto thicker metal. Should last longer anyway and material was free ( thank you work!)

 

[bones]

Do you plan on making more if it goes good??

i might ... i have limited material but i might look in to getting more if they work out right
