The Project Pad

Alright guys, we have passed through the final revision of the 07k motor mounts for the b2/b3/c4/type44/URQ chassis. We have taken out some weight where they didn't need it, and added support where they needed it. These aluminum mounts should take 1000whp worth of abuse and not flex.

Should I anodize or keep them raw?

I prefer the raw however the option for anodizing would be nice.

Mounts are lookin great Hank

Keep it raw. But give the option to anodize, ya thats it.

Annodizing welded parts doesnt come out great. Powdercoat would be a better bet.

They will need some form of coating to stop corrosion but I figure that can be on the end users end of things.

Nice parts as ever Hank

Leave them raw and let people do what they want with them.

Have you tried different rod Haydn? 4043 is terrible in anodizing apps, but 5356 does a pretty good job. A little more gray on the heat affected zone, but not bad really.

I have Hank, as you say 5356 is Ok, but still never looks as nice as a machined part.

the clear answer is clear ano

last day of tradeshow and no appts = maximum borrrrred

how goes the 4/5 con rod testing? they pass?

Lets see a pic all mounted up!

If it were me selling them, I'd leave them raw. Most of the people who put their hands on these will finish them the way they see fit. For the few people that may want them anodized, it seems like the upfront cost and potential 'on the shelf' time on your end may not be worth the slight profit margin on the anodization process. I've been wrong before though

I'm here too :-D

Are motor mounts that are made like this and not with a rubber thing a more noticeable feel in the drive of the car? or is it more of a stationary thing you wouldnt notice?

these still use the rubber thing, Kuma.

This Speeding-G60 is a trouble maker, I can tell already.

Raw gets my vote, but that's just cause I would powdercoat them Aaron's favorite shade of pink that's already all over my engine bay.

Yeah but don't bother banning him. He'll just show up under a new screen name.....or 10 new screen names! ;-p

one for he'll just show up under a different user name and one for his favorite shade of pink all over Zerb's engine bay.

Keep them raw. Makes it easier not to have to clean off the coating when you go to powder coat them

figure out how to make the etching stay?

POLISHED!! SHINY
