    I met with John today. I gave him the mounts for the M50/S50 motor.
    The 2 things he needs are pictures of the mounts on the car (Thanks Addissmo) and how they sit and mount. And he needs to know what about the stock mounts is the failure point and what happens to the mount when it fails.
    I'll be working on getting some of this information for him. If any of you know any information about the stock mounts and where they fail please post here.Thanks!

    I also asked about price and he said they would be priced around $50.00-$60.00, closer to $60.00 more likely. And thats for each piece. He mentioned about designing them the same for each side so it will make it a lot easier to order and not get them mixed up etc.

      Another update.
      I talked to a couple of shops and found out the failure point on those mounts.
      John may be getting started on these in the next week or so.
      So all I need now is some pictures of the mounts and how they sit once the motor is in.
      Adissmo hasn't sent me pictures yet so the offer will be extended to whoever gets me some of these pictures. The offer of course is a discount on the mounts.

            Update on this is he told me he will have them soon. What does that mean timewise...I don't know but I'm about to put my engine in and I need them.
            I'll e-mail him today and see where he's at with these.
