Cool, keep us updated. I am filling my stock ones this week so I wouldnt need them but if the cost is right, I am sure people will be interested.

New mount and 3M Urethane is $100. If they are going to make some, it would have to be around that price or significantly less. I got my motor mount from Toyota for $67 and the 3m Urathane off Amazon.com for $13+5 shipping.

I have no reason B.S. I need new motor mounts for my car before I can start auto crossing, so we would be stupid not to manufacture them seeing how we are already making the design for them. Please let me know if the if the mounts on the xa are the same as the xb. I cannot promise a time frame as to when they will be ready be I can tell you we will be working on them in the next few weeks.

yep. The Urathane costs about $14 a tube. If you dont want to have downtime on your motor cause of the mount (you should let the urathane cure for a couple of days) just get a new mount ($70ish). Its hard to beat $14 is you can do it over the weekend though.

The urethane I use cures completely in 24 hours. Does the 3m stuff take longer?


I also paid more for the stuff I have but then again its a larger amount.

What hardness is that urethane? Its made for holding windows right? You should check out this site. http://www.mcmaster-carr.com
They sell great stuff.

I'm sure it will get hard at 24hours. It does say "super fast urethane" on it. I just let it sit to be safe since its a thicker application than just putting a strip for the windshield. I can tell you from experience though, that this thing is STRONG.

sounds decent. The stuff that I was mentioning is the same hardness as skateboard wheels. Well, a tad softer at 94a.
