Thought about it - but this is a 1-2 hour welding job tops and that includes getting the car up and removing the sway bar and bushings - cleaning up - painting etc. putting entirely new mounts on there is a different undertaking. Might do it when the engine is out sometime next year though.

That said - I’ve been reading where those solid mounts put more strain on the chassis. Nice thing about the non solid mounts is that they have a little flex to them which - for a street car - seems like the right move.

I would feel better about those solid mounts if they were engineered with a little more surface area to weld to the chassis to spread out the load.
