UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
I tried them together tonight, and I just wanted to let everyone know, they fit perfectly. If anyone wants pics I can get some tomorrow.

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
looks like you have quite the project going on there.
Just wondering if anyone has the edelbrock 3point STB with the same supports?

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
For anyone that does have the J&M strut mounts - how much caster/camber could you get? I have mine adjusted all the way in, and couldn't get anywhere close to where I wanted to.
I couldn't get the caster to more then 2.5* and 3* on the other side. This is with the J&M mounts in the end of their slots (inwards). What's the deal? I paid $250 for these so that I could get more adjustability, and I didn't gain a thing! Anyone else experience this?
Thanks

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
They sell them for $217.50 and provide free shipping... where did you buy them that you had to pay $250?
I only upgraded because mine were shot and the J&M have lifetime warranty and an unbeatable price. Any extra adjustment is just a bonus to me.

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
CANADA. They don't ship for free to US SOB's ! So with shipping and duty it was over $250.
I *only* got mine for the added adjustment. I don't think there was anything wrong with my old ones... except I could never get more than 3* of positive camber... Now i'm at the same point... I've heard if that's the case, *something* else is wrong. Now i'm curious what that something is.
So i've happily threadjacked this

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
Nice pics SpikeZ! What is the cost of this set-up? Do you think it's possible to us them with a carb engine?
Merci !

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
I just took my Edelbrock 3-pt STB off & didn't have any clearance issues, with the strut mounts.

Re: UMI STB with J&M strut mounts
The UMI STB mounts by utilizing 2 of the stock strut mount nuts, with the option to drill a hole for a 3rd mounting bolt.
