motor mounts

[muddfrog]

I found a bad mount when i pulled my motor.I have a good set out of a raider,will they work? They look a little taller to me.Does anybody know if this will work?

thanks for the reply.I could tell they were a little taller. Did you us them? did you drill out the hole to move them out ,or did you deck them on bottom?

I am in the process on building a RN now for myself and I was thinking about using them actually, I will mill off the bottom.

SN and RN motor mounts are identical. As stated in the thread above and in the links, the yami couch mounts have the same angle but are a little taller.

Sometimes you can eliminate some of your shims and use them as is with no mods. If you have access to equipment to mill a little of the bottom of the mount, then they mount identical to sj mounts. Otherwise, I enlarge the holes in the mount toward the inside which allows the mount to slide out, thereby lowering its effective height.

The only other problem is their use with kenny keepers, you must clearance either the mount or the keeper to use them together because of their larger size.

Finally, the couch mounts larger size and oem use with larger, heavier motors would indicate higher strength. They have a larger metal plate on top. Therefore, more surface area of metal to spread the sheer load to the rubber before failing.

Thats what I was thinking. Just how much taller are the couch mounts than the SJ mounts? I guess I should compare the ones I have.
