Here's a couple pictures of this mount mocked up in one of my chassis':

I will be watching the vendors section for sure. Hope I am lucky enough to hit the timing right, sure would be great to use one of these on any one of the builds I have in the works.

That's a great idea..............that I came up with 3 years ago .









Also made one for a Summit trans in 2010.



Works really well. I used it in my EB build back in March of 2009. My friend Dennis (that's a machinist) made a couple that year, but I don't know what happened to them.

Yours is prettier than mine .

Nice job on the machine work!

Thanks, I like yours better.

A buddy of mine has one in his rig that looks like what we made but, somewhere in the middle in terms of quality. May have even come from your friends shop. I just wanted to make more because I thought they were the coolest thing when I first saw them. Now, maybe a few more people can enjoy them too

I'm pretty sure Norm(team3six) ended up with one that I machined. Those look pretty nice. I think I deleted all my old pictures from the ones I built.

Sure looks like the one I made. It would benefit from having one more screw added to it a little higher than that lower corner screw. I had trouble with the plate flexing with too much power and stripping spur gears. It looks like he fixed that issue with his.

I can't say for sure but, I would think that with the addition of a transfercase, that alone would help reduce twist.
