Just looking for a set of rotated tranny mounts, front and back, for my G5. I'm a broke college kid, so hopefully someone has some laying around they're not using. Powell preferred, but beggars can't be choosers.

 

pming now

 

bump

 

Powell is the only vendor making rotated mounts for f23 delta cars. Good luck.

 

I'd love to buy from you fellas, but you haven't emailed me back yet..

 

Lately I have seen this sort of comment, and lets be crystal clear, it makes us look bad, as if we dont reply to you. This thread was started by you at 2.04 pm on Friday Nov 30.
Not sure when you emailed, but I have no pms from you at all. Sometimes things do get missed. BUT

We are not open on weekends for business officially. I do Saturday shop work for customers who work weekdays and need help on a Saturday and cant leave their car with us as it is a dd.

I post here a lot, because I can and some weekends and evenings I cannot. Emails sometimes comein an go to junk and sometimes dont go out when the folks say they emailed for all sorts of good reasons.

You do say you dont have a lot of money, so not sure how this will play out. New F23 mounts cost around 90 dollars shipped from the OEM supplier, prior to our machining and modifying and installing new inserts for rotation . so 150 selling price for the F23 is a lot of money.

just saying.

 

Yeah i'm just saying too. You told me to email Gloria in another thread, so I do so on the 28th of November (I have the email in my sent folder). Then she tells me she's going to have you email me instead (on the 29th), and I wait to hear from you... Now you're telling me to buy your mounts again, this time on a different thread. Cool, I hear you do good work, but it's slightly unprofessional to do what you've just done, and not return an email to a potential customer.

 

:popcorn:

John Powell is chuck Norris.

 

 

I'm not trying to start anything. I just told the man i'm waiting for his email.

 

I found your email, and sent you a reply. I beleive you had been replied to , but nonetheless, if it got missed I sent you more information
NONE of our mounts use Poly, poly wears rapidly and has a lot of vibration, so all the polymounts I have seen show this. To be fair, I have only seen maybe 100 poly mounts, and there may be thousands out there, but they all showed the same issues.
We make three type of rotated mounts:
• aluminum 4130 machined with A class voided bushing all LNF 2008-2010 /LSJ 2005/2007 includes Cobalt and Ion Redline except 2004
• steel dom machined and welded with A class voided bushing all LNF/LSJ and similar construction with different pick up points for 2004 Ion Redline
• composite pressed and inserted with A class voided bushing all F23 trans Cobalt/Ion 2005-2010All these mounts are designed to lift the motor at the rear, lower the position of the motor at the front, and allow the torque axis upper mounts to reposition. There are two stages: stage 1 is a replacement front mount and a keyhole rear mount insert to space the stock mount upwards. Stage 1 is recommended for almost all use.
Stage 2 is a rear mount that includes everything in stage 1 save that the keyhole spacer is not needed, as the rise is built into the mount.

The material we use is not Poly, and in fact for the composite F23 mount we dont use Delrin. We use a machinable material that can handle hot and cold and not degrade when exposed to oil, grease and calcium chloride. We then insert a class "A" voided steel jacketed rubber insert with a steel sleeve and use spacers to size to correctly fit in the ears of the mount bracket.

Please confirm you got the email and that this post is enough information. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 

You sellin some mounts homie?

 

I thought riceburner pm'd already. Maybe he be buying a nooo car....?

 

Yes John I have received the email. Thank you for the information. I might need clarification on stage 1 and Stage 2 differences and differences in price. Thanks again.

 

glad you got it and all is good. I dont recommend stage 2 its a fancy alloy machined rear mount. I suspect that stage 1 is all you really need, but stage 1 and a half if you like, is to install an LNF turbo rear mount in place of your f23 rear mount (they are the same mount, the LNF has a better stiffer insert) along with the rear spacer from stage 1 and you are set for a lot less money.

 

So stiffening up the factory rear mount (with a stock LNF) and spacing it out a little bit, without touching the front mount, will stiffen up my drive-train lash and reduce wheel hop?

 

no.

 

hi all, joinin the convo because I like learning new things... powell race parts makes a f23 front trans mount? cool, I didn't know any1 did. Probably because I don't have an F23 and never looked for one! My cuz's b/f has a g5 and has some serious slop in his drivetrain and wants it fixed, we spoke about it during thanksgiving.

As for the mount "system" if you will, for an f23 trans (correct me if i'm wrong) but you make a front rotated mount and rear spacer? when i google f23 rotated mount, i get other vendors. on your site, the description link brings me to the top of the page rather than expanding the "read more"

pitbull, i think you and my cousin might want the same thing... just to tighten the drivetrain up a bit and reduce some lash without spending much $$ yes?

John @ Powell, would you care to provide a bit more info on what comes with the f23 rotated mount setup from your company? are there any "stages" per say and what they include? I would imagine a front rotated mount and stiffer bushing is a definite which would facilitate the need for a rear spacer yes? if you needed more THEN you can get a rear LNF mount to use with the spacer to replac the stock f23 rear and spacer combo (since the rubber is stiffer)

Let me know if I'm correct in my assumptions, thanks in advance.

 

you are 100% correct. But "tightening" up the drive train by spacing the rear only,(we tried that, and tested it, anticipating the need for a really cheap solution) but it doesnt do much. And wheel hop remains. Transmissions and axles are more expensive than a good rotated mount set up. all the best.

 

fantastic. i found a very long and detailed post on the ion forums about quikredline and he was making mounts. I know you two are related somehow... your shop and your John as some1 referenced your name to be, and quikredline is some1 who works at your shop... I'm not sure I can only infer.

Any who, i read all about the science behind it... bennyhhr mod or whatever it was called at first heh with the spacer only, then making a composite mount, the whole thing. I am curious as to the development of the stage 2 vs stage 3 for the f23. here's what I need a little clarification on please:

ya see, your stage 2 has the front custom rotated f23 mount and bushing, and a spacer for the stock mount, @ 140 or 150 i can't remember. what a deal, rotated AND stiffening one of the mounts, awesome. now 250-270 or so is stage 3, which adds a stiffer billet rear mount and incorporates the spacer in one piece. what is the advantage of getting stage 3 with that custom billet rear mount, vs getting your stage 2, saving about $120 and buying an LNF mount for $50 to use with the spacer? is your bushing that much stiffer/better?

Just curious as to why the development for the f23 went to stage 3 at all when off-the-shelf parts can work with your already-awesome stage 2. I love technical details like these, especially if the stage offers something I don't know about. after 22 pages I'm pretty sure I read everything I could heh

EDIT: i realized you dropped the "stage 1 spacer only" and made the front mount with spacer stage 1, oops. stage 2 adds custom rear billet mount with spacer built-in, got it. no stage 3.
you followed the same stage 1-2 mod outline as the lsj and lnf, ahhh the smoke has cleared and all makes sense now. btw... Pricing info?
