Default i made my own solid bobble strut

i made a solid one cuz the motor kept moving so much it would crunch the oil filter on the subframe thing cuz i have the srt oil pump and srt long filter. i just used about a foot of 1 inch square tubeing and welded a bolt with the same thread pattern as the nut on the top of the stock bobble strut to a little peice of steel plate that i used for a cap at one end then i drilled a huge hole at the other end and pulled the sleeve out of the stock bobble strut and slid the sleeve in the big hole and welded there so it wont slide around too much. then used the stock rubber washers just how they were on the stock one and bolted it up. and dam the motor will absolutely not move with the race motor mount insert in the front and stock side mount and tranny mount. it does vibrate a bit tho but it puts the power to the road instantly. i was considering putting together a how-to cuz i have a bunch of pics of the whole assembly.
