First thing I'm going to do on those mounts is replace the red junk with some super pro bushes. Or if I can some rubber bushes but I don't trust anything rubber these days as my luck only lasts few days to a couple of weeks and turns to dust.

Awesome. I have a pair sitting on my shelf in the garage, got em direct from TTT :)

The best part is it uses an off the shelf bush so easy to get a replacement should it ever be needed.

I wonder if the TTT bushes will fit the tuff mounts?

Some weekend projects.


Jigged up the mounting points from the old car to later fabricate an engine/trans unit cradle because I have no were to put the lot once the engine and box are bolted together. I have an old lower section from a sever rack that has strong frame and wheels. Was obtained when my brother bought an engine for his ford years ago and that sever rack is what the engine came in lol.

holden parts always come in handy. My half brother and I converted a 1940s diesel bench saw to electric start using my old VR flex plate, some old delco remy from a VP and battery loom from a VP.

So lots of fire wood this year :thumbup: That thing is imposible to start by hand and normally takes 2 people. Now, flick of a key.

Finally got a chance to pickup my mount from the post office.

Installed :thumbup:

Damn they are good quality.

Also got my company car the other day so I can finally retire the VP for the good life :lol:
