Wow this deserves a :facepalm: for sure

[Joe-G]

I mean i would consider hockey pucks, even though thats already pretty ghetto, but rubber mallets? LOL

Wow, didnt know what I was looking at until I clicked the link.

My favorite was some guy thinking that cutting up a phonebook and making mounts out of that was a good idea.

Wrong. Gr 8 is waaaay too brittle for that app.





Tensile strength is something like 30,000lbs .... I've often wondered what's stronger than grade 8? :confused:

^ Tensile strength and brittleness are not the same thing. A softer steel will yield whereas a brittle steel will simply break.

As ghetto as it seems

I would like to see a pic of this installed now and a pic of 6 months down the road, then another 6 months to see if it lasted.

I didnt even realize what that was.:facepalm:

Not surprised that this is on a Florida forum for drifters.

I thought my hockey puck motor mounts on my track car were bad, at least i know enough to replaces them every year.

I'm not a metallurgist but my belief is that higher grade bolts are better suited for static load situations.

My coilovers came with grade 12.8 bolts for the camber plates. with in the first 1000 km all 8 bolts treads were toast, i snapped off 5 of them getting them out. I retapped the holes, replaced them with grade 8.8 bolts. they're now at about 18000 km and still work fine when i change the camber for track days

i don't think it'll be making it to 6 months.

[SJW]

Alternative to Nismo mounts?

Holy holy holy holy shit.........

Are these in the new GTR?

Perhaps there is a stress point where the wood goes in?

Remind me never to go to Florida.

There's no such thing as grade 12.8....

12.9 yes - alloy steel, quenched and tempered
