| + | This top engine mount is made out of 4mm steel starting with a cardboard template sized, shaped and drilled.

| + | A breaker tool was fabricated in a hydraulic press to make 22.5° degree bends on each lug for the mount. \\ | ||
| + | The position for the 90° bend was marked off. \\ | ||
| + | Having this bend at the correct angle and position is crucial. \\ | ||
| + | Otherwise the piece would have to be discarded to start all over again. \\ | ||
| + | It has to match up to the frame without distorting upon torque.

| + | The mount was placed over a small vise (with the jaws opened and the edges rounded to help the bending process of the mount material). \\ | ||
| + | After bending, the mount is test fitted for a flush fit to the frame.
