- The driver's side is built very well (despite the problems people had reported with earlier versions of this piece), problem is, the bushing that accepts the tapered bracket, was put in backwards.

Tony's been out of the office the last two weeks, but hopefully he'll get in touch with about sending the front and rear mounts soon, so I finally get some test fitment done. I'll probably have to send the D/S mount back to bushing corrected since I don't own a press.

I haven't owned a camera for sometime since my point and shoot died on my like 3+ years ago, so hopefully I can borrowa DSLR and shoot some nice pics of both parts this weekend.

I'm lagging on this, one of sets went 'missing' in transit, meaning it was stolen or lost.

Kinda pissed, and Tony was sick most of Feb and March as was I, so I'm still lagging, sorry.

Ok, just got off the phone with Tony, guess the remainder of the mounts were sitting in the laser cutter's office, so hopefully I can have those back to me within the next couple of weeks.

I also picked up a new camera (finally) so I can get pictures of the passenger side and driver's side mounts. I flipped the bushing on the driver's side mount so the tapered bracket fits perfect now.

Hopefully I can get everything installed and give Tony the green light on getting these mass produced for those who have been waiting forever for these.

Ok, so these are the completed prototypes for the Passenger Side Engine Mount and the Driver's Side Transmission Mount. The fitment on the passenger side mount took a little bit of hammering of the body to get it to bolt down, but nothing too extreme. The driver's side mount bolted down with no trouble at all AND the tappered bracket that is inserted into it fits PERFECTLY now.

The only problem is that I've had difficulties receiving updates from Tony from AWR. I called him about a week ago and he's been having trouble with the laser cutter he used locating both sets of the front and rear prototypes, which means I can't test fit the entire set to make sure they all play nice with each other. I'll try giving Tony a ring tomorrow and see where I'm standing at with this.

P.S. Thank god I got a new camera again.

P.P.S I suck at life for not updating this earlier, so my apologies for that

The top gearbox mount is the same between F and G, but the solid mount between the top mount and the gearbox itself is the different part.

I only know as i originally reused my F series mount on the G gearbox, which came with the solid mount attached.

Rupe is correct, you can use the Driver's Side Mount with either an F or G box, you just have to change the bracket.
