Okay. I came up with an idea. Tell me if this is crazy...
Grind off the lower bolt on each mount. Use the top two bolts, then lay a legitimate weld on the lower edge of the mount. If I'd ever need to change them (which I highly doubt) I could grind off the weld and repeat the procedure.

I'm not 100% sure but wouldnt that transmit more engine vibration to the rest of the vehicle?GMNRadio DJ, Podcast Co-Host

I don't really know... hadn't looked at the design since I came up with the idea. If it's the top plate I'd be welding, then yes... if it's the bottom plate, then no.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

I made solid mounts for mine. It does not vibrate too bad. The passenger side only has the two upper bolts.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

I dont really see why welding the lower edge would make it vibrate more than the bolt would. Go for it. Just be aware you're pretty much gonna have to remove the engine to change the thing if you ever want to in the future.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I know this has been asked a million times, but does anyone have the part number laying around for the short belt (smog pump delete)? I know I've asked a couple of times, but I can't find what threads had the number.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

Might need to steal 2 of the studs from your lopo intake that hold the throttle body in place to replace the super long ones the Explorer elbow uses.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
