BTW, when you use the bumpstops, to sandwich, can you use the wornout stock mount, or do you have to buy new stock mount? Because if new stock mount is required, I might as well just buy the GM mount.
I want one now also. I'm not sure how long the other guy on HybridZ is going to take, but I didn't get a response from him in the thread. I need a mount for my 1977 280z, and hope it's all plug and play, because I don't want to have to cut/re-weld, or drill new holes or something.
I think I just understood how the RT mount works now.... At first, I thought the RT mount was only pushing the diff. down. But the mount is actually bolted to the differential itself, which also holds it from the differential going downwards even more - hence the reason not needing the lower stock mount?
Oh ok, I see how it's suppose to look like now after the install. Thanks for the photo! How much room is there between the differential and the crossmember? Looks like it's less than 1/4". So under acceleration, the differential goes up. But how about when you decelerate while still in gear? Would it try to slam down onto the cross member?
Thanks for the explanation. I think I got confused because I saw a photo without the stock mount below the differential. The photo had the differential laying directly on the cross member. But I read another place, and found out you're actually suppose to have the stock mounts also. I think I will get the RT mounts real soon!
What does 1977 280z shift knob look like? (original) Is it made of wood or wrapped in black leather? Anyone have a photo of a stock one? All the knobs I've seen are different from each other, so I can't tell what it originally suppose to look like. Thanks!
I have a question. Would the RT mount be as bad as a solid mount? People say the solid mount will tear up the differential and mustache bar. From what I see, the RT bar is kind of like a solid mount that it's keeping the differential against the cross member. But if it does allow movement, (since it has a rubber piece on top), would it come banging back down on the cross member = bad?
