1g prothane in 2g REAR motor mount

[goldeninja20]

I happen to post about being on the hunt for a FULL polyurethane rear motor mount insert for a 2g. Someone had told me they used the 1g rear prothane motor mount insert. He also sent me some pictures to verify. Can i get some verification, he doesnt seem to be 100% sure if it was a front or rear 1g mount that he used.

I was told maybe it was the front insert from a 1g that fits perfect in a 2g rear. He is going to clarify for me today. I dont know how this has never been brought up. This would be a break through for me and many other 2g guys. I have the dimensions of a gutted 2g mount, i need the dimensions from a 1g front and rear mount inserts!!!

I got some measurements today. It is 2.8 (diameter) by 1.5 (the width of mount). I need some measurements of a 1g front and 1g rear motor mount prothane inserts to see if this will fit! Please guys, i know someone needs to have one of these in their shop that they can measure. This would be sweet for us 2gers.

1g front (roll stopper they're properly called): 2.78" diameter and 1.5" wide
1g rear roll stopper: 2.78" diameter and 1.65" wide

Probably either one could be made to fit but the 1g rear is a two-piece design so it would be a bit easier to install it. I'm not sure why the front one is a one piece design?

Wow, that's exactly what it measured out to be with my caliper, but I figured someone would be using a tape measure or something . So looks like I will be using the 1g rear mount insert in my 2g. HOW HAS THIS NEVER BEEN BROUGHT UP?!?!?! INSTEAD OF THOSE AWFUL 2G INSERTS. I will update when I get them installed. And thank you very much.

Just wanted to update for you guys. This is a 2g rear mount with the 1g REAR prothane insert. It fit snug (didnt need a vice or press or anything). It does stick out VERY LITTLE. I had some urethane laying around so i put a little on so i could be sure it would stay in place. I have done 3 or 4 launches and many pulls and it is just like it was when i put it on. THIS IS A GREAT MOD AND I STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAS NEVER BEEN MENTIONED. I don't know why prothane doesnt just use this same part for their 2g rear mount instead of their junk inserts. Hope this helped

someone here at dsm tuners makes full prothane inserts. but this looks alot easier and more cost effective. i'm going to give it a try.

Black_gst is his name and he does make them for the front and rear roll stops. I have them and they are amazing!!

Yes, they are nice quality. But this is just a much more cost effective. Plus there is no need for a press like there is with Black_gst's inserts.

I would also like to include that the 1g FRONT insert might fit better in the 2g rear mount. Just because it is not as wide as the 1g rear insert. I use the 1g rear insert in my 2g and it was just SLIGHTLY too wide. It still worked perfect, when i say it was slightly too wide, it just sticks out a little bit. I have been running this mount for a little over a month and i LOVE it.

Ninja you ever find out if a 1g mount fits the 2g front roll stop?

Yes it does, I did this as well. I spent like $26 for 2 rear 1g poly mounts (new from summit racing). What I did was pressed the sleeve out of the front mount but left it in for the rear.

I did trim the mounts a tad and thinned them out in the center using a sanding wheel. I did however still have to oil them up and press them in with a vise.

Also you will need to drill the mount brackets bigger and buy 2 bolts to match the center sleeves. (5/8 I believe)

Found it: this is the thread I used when doing mine. Follow this and you will be set.
