Fit Engine mounts-the easy way

After trying for ages and some skinned knuckles later,i thought of an easy way.
See the picture...just drill a hole with a hole saw and it makes the access simple

yea..... but im sure some people will have issues with cutting the hole.


and im sure someone will debate how it effects the strength of it, ect....



and then someone else will bring up how easy it is with tubular k members...

then the tubular k member, is it strong enough? debate will come up again.







there we go... a thread condenced into one post. :lala:

that's why i put in urethane mounts, cuz i don't wanna have to change em ever again. if those bad boys go bad in less than 10 years, I swear I'm gonna buy a tubular k member that damn day.
