Universal weld-on engine mount bushings??

[thegreatdane]

Anyone knows if you can get these so you can weld on your own mounts?
They must be steel of course.
Like this kit, but I just want the bushings alone so I can weld mounts myself : steel engine mount kit

I don't understand what you're saying. Do you want the mounts, or the bushings? You said you just want the bushings, but you wrote the mounts must be steel..hence the confusion.

Anyway, you can get just the bushings. I got mine for my hacked up innovative mounts from camp1320.com. Innovative will also sell you bushings directly, but only if you can Prove that you're using them for innovative mounts, that you bought from one of their authorized retailers. Their customer service is as bad as it gets, they also deny that their mounts are ever sold on ebay and won't honor anything to do with that, even when provided with a link to the ebay sale.
But you're not in the states, so I don't know what your best option would be.

I want a bushing with its sleeve so I can weld the sleeve onto my own setup. Hence why it must be steel. The part I dont need is the bracketry welded on to the innovative sleeves.

The innovative mounts I linked to is the closest I've been able to find to what I want, but they are a bit expencive to hack up when I only need one or two bushings.

I have not found the sleeves but you can get inserts from HASport i got some that im going to use on my PRI mounts. You might be able to get the sleeves from them. The inserts ran around $100 for 3 with the steel sleeves where the bolt goes through. I bought them when i was gonna work on new B20A mounts but im just going to mock something up for the rear upper and call it a day.

Thanks Rob I'll consider those. Would you mind measuring the diameter of the inserts? Then I'll see if I can find some sort of tube first with the correct innner diameter to fit the hasport inserts.

edit: Did your inserts include the small bolt sleeve or did you have to ask for that?

It came with them for a price.....LOL I just had them ship me full length ones since most vary in size and i wasn't sure what i needed and its an easy fix to cut them to length. I will try to get a measurement for you but i would ask HASport if they sell it being their inserts will fit it perfectly. The PRI mounts are slightly larger in diameter but im going to try to fix it with a thick powder coating.

just an idea on the topic, you can find an assortment of bushings in off road application sources such as 4x4, sand rail buggys, etc..

thanks Rob.

twoloudnproud, gave me a hint that he was using Leaf Spring Bushings in his tractionbar, so I found this with a neat table of sizes: http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/univ1.html
