After looking at more pictures of the mount i see exactly what you mean by that neck down not being a stress point @AndyG. Thanks again for the nvh fix!
Hopefully after service tonight I’m going to do some final tweaks-
Basically what could happen is if the mount were pressed together very hard it’s going to compress the rubber and theoretically go metal to metal and be OK-
But now that I’ve said that if you think about a transmission bouncing and if that area is cut too thin- I think you have a good point. Especially knowing that rubber is pretty stiff.
Also I’m gonna take a minute to say something on this forum that I think needs to be said-
It’s OK to be wrong.
It’s OK to have an opinion.
It’s OK to play devils advocate or even talk hypothetically.
It’s OK to point out something that might be a concern.
Regardless of how much any of us know -
we don’t know everything.
We all share a like passion and we are entering a later stage of the life span of these vehicles and we need to all keep an open dialogue about everything- A respect for the other guys ideas- A willingness to share and not be afraid to get shut down.
I was thinking just a few days ago how we are mostly just guys that are being our own automotive engineer- Really something that few of us are truly qualified to do- But I think if we all use this forum to work together we can keep these things going, we can solve problems and we can win.
As patriotic music plays in the background of this thread, I think it’s time for a group hug.
