To go along with Jon's E153 adapter group buy, I am thinking about making the needed passenger mount for it. Jon offered to send his mount to me to copy. I know that when I started my conversion, the trickiest part was locating the engine/trans in the right place. Having this mount should make that job much easier.
The design would follow my mount, but with smaller 1.5" bushings - same ones as Jon used in his mounts and same size as the Roodwerks mount. The inner sleeve would be out of aluminum with a 12mm ID inner hole to accept the stock bolt because the sleeve that comes with the bushings is too short and the ID a little too big at 1/2". The actual mount will be made out of mild steel (1/4" wall DOM tubing with 3/8" thick plates).
Here is a pic of my mount for reference (it uses 2" bushings).
I hate painting, so they would come bare. I know Jon can powdercoat stuff or I could get it done locally if enough people want that.
The price of a bare mount will be $125 shipped in this group buy as I will only be ordering as much material as I need and the parts are waterjet cut, so one-offs would not be cost-effective.
I'll also want a $35 non-refundable deposit.
The deadline for the deposit (or full-payment) will 1/24/2010.
So, any takers? Need a minimum of 3 before I go ahead as that would about cover the minimum charge for the waterjet.
Well, it looks like there are atleast three interested, so it's a go. My paypal address is:
