Custom engine mounts

[strudel]

I have been asked about engine mounts as they have red bushings.

They came from a fellow in California that makes an inexpensive version of some custom mounts available. Normally Honda mounts come from the Grand Pubah of mount fabrication whish is HASport http://www.hasport.com/ The ones on the left are for a Civic and on the right are actually for a Miata. These are in an unfinished state as I believe he has a process to coat them. I just got a cheapie version to test out. There are several other manufacturers that offer mounts for Honda to Honda conversion.

I am using these for my custom application for the Integra in the Mini. Not sure just yet which will work the best. I plan on using the Miata one on the timing side as I have decided how the mount will work. The tranny side I will decide after I get the engine orientated properly as I hope to use the exact same frame shape on both sides for simplicity. Just depends on space available.

If I could get the red buses I could make my own. Wonder where the guy gets em from.

That part I can't help you with. There are several suppliers of parts that offer kits for various cars but haven't seen one just for particular sizes. Some of the Honda people that have got kits in red were not impressed as they tend to squeak. They say buy only black as they have graphite or something in them and don't make noise. If I come across anything I'll let you know. I got the red opnes as the manufacturer stated that they were the stiffest and that the softer ones tend to get cut from movement in the collar.
