Engine Tie Down Strap

[russgoodman]

Just took this off the car. Complete tie down strap includes eyelet, washers, nuts, and strap. Went with a HR motor mount so I wont need this anymore. Originally got this from Kirbans probably a year or so ago. Not many miles on it. $25 shipped, paypal preferred, I dont charge extra for using paypal. Thanks!

hello russgoodman; You say you put on HR motor mounts. Your motor should still shift so why not have both. Are the mounts on and what do you think of them?

The strap is not needed with the HR motor mounts, in fact the instructions say do NOT use a strap with them. With the HR motor mounts, the engine does not shift any. I only bought and put the drivers side on because my car is not real real fast. The mounts are great and work as advertised, my motor does not shift at all. I would recommend them if you can afford them.

hi russ; you know it seems like most of the stuff for these cars are "if you can afford them" theme. WTF can't vendors know what's happening?
Do you think the vendors are making money on us or what!!!

I'm the type that will pay a little extra up front for qood quality. I'm sure Paul has put alot of $$$ into research and production costs of these mounts. I paid like $130 or so for one mount, but I think it was definitely worth it.

I would have saved $45 or so in the long run if I would have bought the motor mount originally instead of buying this tie-down strap first. Many guys have learned the hard way and have cracked numerous alternators using a tie down strap on like 9 sec cars (one guy cracked 3 I think). At that point $130 for a good quality motor mount ain't bad.

The mounts are different on each side. I just bought the drivers side. It is the main one needed. If your car isn't super quick I would just get the drivers side mount. Jason at RJC just released some engine brackets that are a little cheaper, but I really don't know anything else about them. Take a look at the videos to see how much the engine moves around with the stock motor mounts. Its crazy!
