ok... the main bolt that holds the front lower motor mount into the frame snapped so im just going to go the route of welding the mount to the frame... i have the 2 higher bolts in the subframe still holding the motor mount on and im just wondering, will a smaller mig welder be enough to weld the mount and make it sturdy enough??? i have a cheaper welder and i dont even wanna start welding if thats not gonna be enough to hold the mount thanks to all who post!

 

i busted my front motor mount today but im just gonna buy a new mopar one with the prothane bushings

 

ok, but i have a brand new motor mount... i just wanna know about welding lol

 

spud didnt u end up welding your front lower mount??? did u use a cheapo welder or do u have something respectable??? post a pic if its not a hassle

 

why dont you just knock the studs out and put bolts through? if you weld to that core support its double layer thin crap and its ends up cracking around the weld

 

already replaced the studs u are talking about... the bolt im referring to is the single bolt that is directly into the frame... the head snapped and ive tried everything under the sun to get it out so im gonna try the welding method... i know what ur talkin about the double layer crap and im not going to be welding near it... im referring to the painted frame

 

hmmm ya i just riped all 3 of the bolts out this week, but i welded it, so i could drive it, i dont think it will hold up to to much hp...

 

leonheart17240, can u post a pic?

 

hey i woek at firestone i see this kind of stuff all the time you basicly have two options.
1.drill new holes thrgh the frame and new bolts
2. weld the mounts(what i do best) any one could use any kind of welder i have a cheap welder its a lincoln electric pro mig-135 120 volt and i do that with all my welding jobs i like o use the flux cored wire ( no shelding gas) set the welder with the setting D or C with the wire speed at 3.5...........if u use a stick welder 120 volt use a 6010 rod or a 7014 or 7018 rod for extra strength. if u can weld it should last as long as the car.
oxy-acetelene ( gas welding) would work good too that best for cast iron.
