Told you it was a stupid question

Stupid question for you guys. Instead of sectioning the struts, why can't you just lop-off the needed the length from the top of the strut tube.

You forgot an LS1 & T56.

Thanks guys. I will avoid them.

I just might end up buying it... one piece at a time

Still working for me.

What do you thnk of these headlights and the seller... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2423356555&category=33710

Reminds me of a picture I Photoshopped for a joke...

The riciest cars I've seen in my area tend to be Mustangs

Okay, the brace passing through the air cleaner is pretty weird, but what gets me is why he has a brace at all. Oh wait, I get it now. His car is so fast that he needs the brace to keep the air pressure from collapsing his fenders.

Personally, I'm a fan of the stock hood (240Z / 260Z). I can also live with a LOW cowl induction type hood.

Does anybody have a structural drawing(s) of the roof attachments on a 240Z? If you would kindly Email them to me I would most grateful. If you don't have them, do you know where I might find them.

I'm not sure about the "Sleeper" thing. I'd be a bit suspicious when I saw the guy driving from the back seat.

Let me quote my self.. I said "a bit expensive," not "overpriced" or a "ripoff," or anything remotely like it. I think the RB26DETT is a Nice motor, but it is a bit expensive. I think the LS1 is a Nice motor, but a bit expensive. I think that my DVD player is a nice DVD player, but it was a bit expensive. See the trend? I think it's great that you have made extra mounts, and are offering them to the world. That's why I posted them here! If I didn't like them I would have posted a "Hey look at these crappy, overpriced, sure to crack and destroy your Z, kill you and your dog RB mounts" thread. I am certified to Level II in Dye Penetrant, Eddy Current, & Mag Particle NDT (Non-Destructive Testing), and have well over a hundred hours in the classroom learning the various NDT methods and Metallurgical processes. I have well over 2000 total (documented) hours testing a wide varity of aircraft parts. Finding cracks is what I do. There is little differrence in automobile and aircraft stresses. In different areas on a aircraft the stress may be greater or less than those found in automobiles. In fact, most of the cracks I find are in low stress areas. It's not always the BIG stresses that cause cracks, it's the little, continuous stresses (vibration) that do the most damage. Rubber isolators will help a great deal in this area. I'm no machinist but looking at the part it seems it was cut with one type of cutting tool (bit), and it appears that the bit has flat tip and cuts with the side (flute?). It seems to me that by changing from the flat tip to something with a small radius (Ball End Mill?) on the tip would eliminate the 90 degree corners. In the above pic. you can see the very nice radius cuts. Any Stress will be evenly distrubted along the radius. Now look at the sharp interior corner. Here all the stress will be focused and is the most likely place for cracks to form. I'm not saying cracks will form, but if any do, this is where they will probably start. They are nice mounts and if I were in need of a pair, I certainly would not rule them out.

I think they are nice, but a bit expensive. I also don't like the sharp, 90 degree cuts. In the aviation business we call those "stress risers," and after a few hundred hours of vibration I would not be suprised to see cracks develope in those areas. I think those areas should have been cut with a small radius in all the corners.
