    BILL, PLEASE DELETE POST!!! Don't Bother Reading, I Meed To Get Better Pic's!!!!

     



    Hello Everyone, Is my transmission mount strong enough? I needed to move the engine/transmission back 2 1/4" & the center line to center line measurement between the transmission mount bolt holes was 2 1/4". So I just moved the front bolts to the rear bolt holes & made a 1/2" thick bracket to hold it. I hope the pic's are good enough to see what I did! Thanks, Bill

    PICTURES ARE TERRIBLE!!! I DELETED & WILL TAKE SOME MORE....

    I've been known to use a big hose clamp for a rear mount, you actually have bolts!

    There is not all that much stress on a trans mount, Ive seen factory set ups with a singe 3/8s fastener.

    You are saying your bracket is fashioned from 1/2" plate, and four bolts?
    yeah, plenty strong.
