you could weld another triangle going from left to right, so the thing is braced for sideways movement?? ie; if this: | o | is the view looking up at it, the 'o' is the nut, weld 2 braces either side that go: /| o |\ with just some 5mm mild steel triangles. front on would look like: --| |-- (the dashes being the braces)

easy?

Have you still got rubber between the chassis and body ?

Looks like its solid mounted ,the design of these mounts is specifically for the proper shaped rubber inner and outer and the correct washer .
The Chassis and body actually flex at a diffrent rate these type of mounts are used to allow for the difference,
whats BL stand for ? Body Lift ?




















Or Booty lift . :finger:

Just say No To Body Lifts (/)
