I have a pair on my hot rod, not been run in anger yet but I see all the sloppy movement is sideways, and i can push the motor sideways 1/4” easily, so yours are probably in a worse situation being aligned to shear sideways with the rotational forces that will be on them.
surely I’m in a better position as the pull of the engine is gonna pull up on one and push down on the other under acceleration?
What's that a front hub conversion from focus to lexus PCD?
Looks weird due to the thread on the inside rather than using the cv cup and nutting the outside like a normal driveshaft.

I’d think mine is going to act like that, as my mounts are flat, but yours will be trying to rotate in a circle, around it’s crankshaft and will thus be shearing the engine mounts.
Ive already done it to some s2000 hubs but they’re not long enough for me to safely fit my brakes. So I need those made above. Bit of a game stopper if I can’t find someone soon tbh.
they are a little weird, not many cars have them this way, they always go the conventional way with a blank behind instead of a cv boot
Not sure I follow, under acceleration your flat engine mounts will pull up on one and try to tear the other one as there are no lateral supports to these mounts. So quite likley your near side mount will tear in half before your off side mount gets pulled in half.
mine should compress one side and try to pull the other side in half under acceleration as I have some lateral support from the angle at which they’re sat.
time will tell him sure.
first thing that needs to be done is those hubs!!
Someone help please? Lol

That bit you need.
In one piece, or could it be a stub, welder to a plate?

Send adam @ noath precision. He may still be doing bits and pieces during this down time.

Done a few bits and pieces for me before and been cracking

I see what you mean now, mine wobble easily from side to side, but I never thought about the actual mechanical bond holding rubber to steel.
I might fit a torque bar, with rubber bushed ends.I see what you mean now, mine wobble easily from side to side, but I never thought about the actual mechanical bond holding rubber to steel.
tbh I think these mounts are good enough for your Landy trying to get out of the dirt but probably need something a bit more sturdy to be used in anger on and off the torque all the time
Caterham engine mounts used to have a half-cup aronud the outside of the rubber, so when it sheared, as it would, the cup kept it sort of in place.
Very similar mounts to the Land Rover round ones are used in Scimitar SS! ones, but both are at an angle, so the when they fail, it would tend to drop into thew Vee they form rather than sideways.

great video, thanks , are you going to rig up a heat shield between offside turbo and pipework?
the fuel pipes need a cover, the turbo probably needs a blanket to stop heat soaking the inlet. Steering column has a heat shield.
wiring on near side needs to be protected somehow too
