Forrest Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I've been meaning to do this for a while...I actually had a hard time finding pics of people's installs who had my year with my parts combination. (78 + poly mount) Only thing I had to was slot the ears for the poly mount. I plan on putting a stock rubber mount underneath later. So here you go: Slotted vs unslotted (Sway bar is disconnected) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 These RT mounts are much nicer. I installed mine a few years back, and also had to do the "slot mod" on the poly mount ears to make it where I could get the bolts in. I really like the firm feel you get from using a nice stiff mount set up like this. You'll be happy you installed it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So you did pull the sway bar off before you did this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yes, I pulled off the sway bar long before. I guess I should put it back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah because that's the only thing from keeping you from driving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 Brakes are the only thing truly keeping me from driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 That's what I meant. Come on now Forrest! Good luck, hopefully you figure something out this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 I put the lower mount on today. Took a little doing.... I didn't want to shave the upper mount, but I shaved it just enough so that I could bolt the mounting ears flush to the diff. I didn't have to remove much material. Otherwise the bottom mount wouldn't have had room to bolt between the diff and the crossmember. I didn't have to slot any of the components in order get the bottom mount, but I thought I would for a while. I was able to loosen everything, bolt in the bottom crossmember, and then tighten everything up. It's rock solid now...can't wait to test drive it.
