Need Quick Rear-end Help Please!!!

[Seanh]

I'v been haveing so many rear end problems with this Datsun its starting to p--- me off. My rear end mount is bad, I know that. I wanted to go with a solid one, so everyone suggested I just do the angle stock idea, so I did. Well, first peice wasn't thick enough, and the rear end bent it. Well, I finally got some thicker today, and installed it after much difficulty, only to take it out once and dump the clutch and take off hard, and on my shift into 3rd my damn loud thump is back again. Take it home, and one of my bolts had been spripped out. I don't know what to do anymore? Can I take it to a shop and have it welded in place? If I do will I be able to remove the rear end if I ever have to? I'm at a lose. I just want the damn stock rubber one back if I had to do it again.

Also, I dunno if I didn't do this right, or what not, but I was wondering if there should be any clearance between the brace and the peice of angle stock? I didn't leave any on the 2nd attempt, because I don't want that annoying thud everytime I shift gears or hit the gas. Is this alright or did I screw it up or something? One more thing, where can I get a new stock rubber mount or perhaps a polly aftermarket mount? I'm getting a little discouraged with this solid mounting idea...I want a solid mount, but it just ain't workin for me I guess...

Motorsport Auto still has the solid diff mount in their new catalog for $41.95.....if you're looking for the easy way out that is

sounds like the easiest plan of action and also the best alternative to avoiding anymore thunking :stupid: headaches

I have made all of my solid mounts.... Just take the old parts from a broken unit, burn out all of the rubber with a torch, and weld some steel in where the rubber was... Easy as cake... and almost free, (my favorite price).
