Add Extra Engine Mount to the M8 (pics)

- bought a spare engine mount setup from product tester
- had to fab up a metal support as the alum support is backwards and upside down
- used a 3/4" long bolt on the bottom, cap screw wont work, hex head requires less room....and you need all you can find:face-icon-small-dis
- shimed 2 washers inbetween the mount the rubber ring thing
- removed material from the rubber ring thing as i need more clearance for the oil pump...started with 1/32" and ended up with about a 1/4"...fingers crossed
- removed material from the half moon bracket located down low and cut a hole in the bulk head to gain bolt install/uninstall access.....plan to cover this hole up later
- used loctite on everything
- you will need a long pry bar to move the engine around and get the lower bolt in....this is the fun part
- PITA:face-icon-small-dis

engine side mount, looks purdy huh:beer;



topside view:


see the hole, the bolt is long, could of done it differently i guess.....oh well


oil pump vibration/movement room:


bottom half moon clamp, removed material amd removed about 1/8" from the bolt as it will now be too long:

even my 09 m1000 has destroyed two of the rubber mounts in the plate behind the clutch, motor jumps all over the place.

the M1000 needs an additional mount more then the M8....i know CCpowder has done this and product tester has done several...ive heard you have more room on the M1000????
