Help!!! Upper Pipe Mount Broke Again.

<< < (8/11) > >>

hughes:
Machine I used 1/2 square stock. Cut the back out to fit the frame contour. Welded it all the way around. Front to Back. I think the square shaped mount should be super strong.

machine:
Hughes;

Does the 1/2 square bar go all the way to the pipe?
Did you drill, and tap the 1/2, or do you have a thin piece going from the 1/2 mount to the pipe? Are you using and rubber for the vibes???
I will try and study your pic of the mount more!

Thanks,
Kev?

machine:
Hughes, I didn?t realize you had 2 pic?s there!
Ok, now I see what you?ve done.
I?ll try that now!
Thanks!

BigKX:
Yes, I'm basically connecting the two mounting points together.  I also fill the void in the pipe mount itself(the one on the pipe) with silicone.

machine:
BigKX;
What kind of pipe are you using?

Hughes;
Are you using 1/2 solid bar, or 1/2 square tubing?
