I'll be looking into the Powell trans mounts.
I found almost no increase in vibration with Powell's front mount and the LNF rear mount.

Powell's are more like stock vib's. More but not like the poly or solids. Hell they seem less than my escape 2.0 eb with upgraded efocus oem mounts.

I got a price list a while back ago from Gloria, and I'm a little confused. What's the difference between the all steel f35 mount and the custom modified f35 mount? Also, do I need to buy the spacer with the mount or does it come with it? There are two types of spacers listed a keyhole spacer and just a spacer, I believe I need a keyhole spacer right? I have an lnf with the F35 trans.

If your buying a stage 2 mount from Powell it will come with a spacer for the rear mount and a new rotated front mount, If you are buying a stage 1 you will only receive the front rotated mount.

To avoid vibrations, follow the install procedure john supplies with the mounts.

Stage 1 has the spacer and the front mount, stage 2 is new mounts for front and back. I don't know if he still makes the stage 2 for the F35. If you have a LSJ F35 then changing to the LNF rear mount is recommended.

I have a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline Supercharged. Would you be able to make a steering wheel hub adapter for me? I just found this post and I really can't deal with the old steering wheel right now.

They have been busy, I've messaged John a few times about things and he has gotten back to me pretty quick. I've been hounding Gloria for a couple weeks about a part I want and she has been running all over the place. John's mother passed away in late August and there was a lot for him to do surrounding that. After NASCAR wraps up and cold weather sets in, I would guess they will get caught up.

I would recommend you sending him a private message on here as it goes to his email if you want to get a hold of him. Just remember if it's a somewhat stupid question, he doesn't have a lot of patience.....
I think he gets asked off the wall stuff a lot by some young owners that didn't try and find out things on their own first, so he can get wound up pretty quick on that stuff.

I know John was in he US, among other things with CED this past week. He sent me some parts from there. I think he's headed home again. Might have better luck then. As Nova said, PM is your best bet.

Gloria was at ced, don't know if John made the trip. I only know because I was hounding her at sending me a invoice for some koni front strut mounts and she replied that she was heading to ced.

Thanks.
Powell's first response was "LDK" lol

ECaulk is on his way over here as we speak and so is leemanfor. Between the two of them there's a ton of knowledge and expertise. I'll update my other thread with what we find...

i emailed Gloria last week and got the CED reply too, i will wait till next week and see what happens.

i know i asked him a few stupid questions when i first got my Cobalt so i hope that didn't put a dent in things as i cannot thank him enough for the wealth of knowledge he has provided not only me but to the whole community. i will always support him and his products as they are second to none.

So are they just ignoring e-mails right now?
I e-mailed John on the 14th, and Gloria a week ago today, and I've gotten no response from either of them.

What gives?

I have also been waiting on them. John said Gloria was busy with veterans or something but would return emails shortly. I've been waiting a month to order things too.
