Please help me. finishing up installing prothanes!

[jacobevan611]

I was wondering if anybody knows why the motor mount hole is so much bigger than the bolt and the part of the frame the bolt goes through. Please help me I am trying to finish up tonight. Thanks.

thats normal.
theres a mod for that where you ream out that mount hole and use a 1/2" grade 8, makes it a lil stiffer.

Thankyou so much!

hope you enjoy the sexy vibrations from the installation!

 

[jacobevan611]

Ha I'm not the biggest fan of vibrating panels but I don't mind how the car shakes at idle.

after about a week or two, it will settle down some. Hope you enjoy the better throttle response

any body know how you get to the one behind the fire wall to insert a prothane replacement

 

[My1GLaser]

Take a die grinder to the holes in the mount part that bolts to the block. I believe I used a 5/8x4" bolt. You can use 5/8" washers on either side of the prothane inserts. When you tighten the bolt, it compresses the inserts so hard into the mount that it is basically solid. That bolt can take over 100 ft/lbs of torque with no issues and you can squeeze the whole assembly so tight that it wont move.

Thanks everyone. Yesterday I went to osh and picked upa 5/8 x3.5 grade 8 bold and ended up spending 16 bucks on a 5/8 drill bit. The front 3 mounts are in and that is all I plan on runnning bcause I don't know how to get to the back one. The vibrations are intense but DEFINATELY worth it considering my drivers and passenger side mounts were dryrotted to almost nothing.

Remove the battery, intake pipe, and washer reservoir to get some access to the rear mount.

 

[jacobevan611]

Is that all I will need to do and it will be completely accesible? Thanks.

The ones in the bottom of the pic are inserts for the roll stoppers.
