U P D A T E!
fter a long meeting today with a very close friend of mine that builds insane off-road trucks as a business. We sat down and discussed making the mounts out of Chromoly. It's very labor intensive and Chromoly is extremely strong and durable...but at last it is cheaper than billet aluminum and stronger.
i will have some samples produced in 1-2 weeks.
I'm all about saving people money in order to do this swap
I have added 2 more Packages to the original post! Chromoly Mounts with transmission bracket and one without transmission bracket.
The Chromoly mounts will be boxed in and plated in order to exceed racing conditions. They will be stronger than the Billet Aluminum and can be powdercoated any color.
The Chromoly mounts will be available soon and I need at least 5 people who want them to keep the group buy price!

I will have the CAD drawn mounts in hand made out of Chromoly first week of October.
I already have the transmission brackets which are the DGR Fab CNC Billet Aluminum.

Updated for now. The CNC Billet mounts can ONLY be produced if 10 people are interested, There isn't that much interest.
So for now, I am focusing on a cost effective solution that will withstand the abuse. People are complaining about the price. The only way to lower the price is to go another route.
also, please understand, there is a lot of cost in the Engine Isolators alone. The prices are not just for a chunk of metal engineered and CAD drawn. There is more than that.
The Transmission Bracket however IS Billet Aluminum....Until I am sold out and then I will make chromoly.
