\"\"<\/a>OK, so you\u00c2\u00a0 saw my engine mount woes. I’ve had various good suggestions, fabricating a mount that uses some known leaf shackle size was a good one. But with the next event a week away and me being lazy, I decided to hack something up with what I could find to solve this problem. I could have bought some more window weld and filled the mount with goop, but I knew that wouldn’t last one event. So heck, I’ll fill it with steel!

Should be interesting to see how it does at the next race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
