how to install 034 motorsports snub mount bracket

[mudd1011]

does anyone know how to install the 034 bracket with snub mount? I spend too much time today trying to get it to fit. There simply isn't enough room. Do I need to take the front end off to fit it? I gave up and just put the 034 snub on the oem bracket. I would like to use the 034 bracket since it was designed for the new snub mount.

thanks for any help. I'll continue to search the forums, but hadn't found much info.

I’m running the 034 snub mount without the bracket if that’s any consolation.

Did you unbolt the snub engine side bar from the block? Like in the ECS instructions for their mount?

Since I'm doing a snub mount installation tomorrow night. Can I also ask how hard is it to get the old one off and the new one back on the bracket? I don't have a ton of tools and saw in a Youtube video that the guy had to cut the old one off. Then used a rubber mallet and a piece of wood to get the new one on. I don't want to end up cutting the old one off and unable to get the new one back on the bracket.

It's super easy. Old one on mine just crumbled off..

Beating it on with a mallet and block of wood is what I did. Remember to grease it up, and don't fasten the mount to the radiator/front support before turning the engine on and letting the car idle/rev it for a bit.

lol Yours looks just like mine so I'm guessing it's going to fall right off as well. Is the new Eurothane one really that hard to get onto the bracket? So I should turn the engine on and idle rev it for a bit without either of the two brackets on or I put the front support bracket on but not the snub mount? Then rev it up/idle then put the one with the snub mount on.

Leave the snub out in the sun to get warm and put the "male" mount in the freezer for a bit if you are worried.

You put everything back, tighten the bolts onto the engine but not the front bolts. You'll see that those are adjustable. Just finger tighten those bolts and let the engine adjust them by running it for a bit, then fully tighten them.

I can put the mount in the freezer but living in the great white north I doubt there will be enough sun to warm it up lol. I may bring it in my house out of the garage.

OK perfect thanks for taking it slow with me lol. I actually really appreciate it :)

the motor sport bracket is deeper than the oem one, thus not enough room to mount it. There are no 034 instructions for the bracket install. Surprisingly, the snub mount itself went on easily. didn't need a hammer, just pushed it against the concrete floor.

I guess I'll just use the oem bracket for now

I have a used 034 for sale and also have a spare OEM mount pieces as well.
