A solid mount on Drivers side and a rubber one on the Passenger side works great and never have to see a mount look like that again.

Yikes! Destroyed those. I like the turnbuckle idea. When I mounted mine I bolted the steel pieces together with a countersunk grade 5 bolt and nut. So far so good.

You don't want a solid mount on the driver's side. It'll loosen the fillings in your teeth and spin nuts off random bolts. Years ago, I had one in my '67 Coronet wagon that was equipped with 440, 4-speed and 3.55 gears. I discovered those floating mounts that had the internal steel plates that locked up in high torque situations. I never had a broken mount again.

Many people I know including myself ran them like this for years with ZERO bolts loose and ZERO vibrations. The passenger side being rubber absorbs any harmonics. These were street cars running Mid 10's to mid 9's in the quarter. I am guessing there was other issues that loosened your teeth fillings as your experience it's not the normal one...

Replace the damaged rubber with a block of aluminum and a stud. Worked on our turbo car with a transbrake running mid 9's for years

I've run steel mounts, BOTH sides, in the Bee since 1979. If it adds any vibration I'm toooo dumb to notice !

I don't agree with that statement. I run solid mounts on both sides of all 3 of my cars with no ill effects. I do use rubber trans mounts however.

I believe they're making these again. Used to be Schumacher

I will go solid if the rubber fails.
