Speaks for itself, really.

Seen that a few times - always strikes me that it could look good if done properly (and you're into that type of thing). That looks like a bit of a half-assed go at it though.

Didn't those American Chopper clowns do something similar on a bike for Snap-On at one point?

 

[Rig Pig]

Brilliant!

 

[frank horton]

probably a better use for them adjustables as they'd be made from Chineseum........hahaha....
prob cheaper than proper metal.........

Reminds me of idiots using micrometers as clamps......................

And vernier calipers as spanners

That is just stupidity, everyone knows they are for scribing lines a set distance from the edge of a piece of stock

Hilarious, i thought the post was indeed for making custom engine supports/mounts !
Here’ some we made for a v8 transplant on a e30 beemer...

I need to make some to replace the somewhat agricultural ones on my hot rod. They need a little ‘flair’ to suit the design of the car. You can just see them behind the headers, rather bland looking and made from 2mm plate.

Drill some speed holes in them. Everything looks better with speed holes.

 

[james butler]

can you use tiger seal to make the rubber mounts? its urethane so should have good vibration absorbing qualities?

Oh yes, there will be holes, I like holes, holes are good.

 

[PhillipM]

Is that a hip joint?

 

[Morrisman]

Yep, sure is.

Is this going through an SVA / IVA or whatever or already registered?

Already registered as a Jago T bucket, 1985. One of the first they built.
