    Dog friendly, with dog snot on inside windows, with of course a/c! Mag 16 inch wheels from a Mazda.
    Looks good! That thread is over 2 years old he could have moved on. Suggest maybe do what he's done, make a cardboard temple if you can't make the medal plate. Hopefully some fabricator can! Here is suggestion for removing seized bolts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WuVBFTzoKc

    Interesting, but I wouldn't trust it. Cool link though, I'm going to try in on a Kayak Rack I've been docking around with for a few years :)

    So final up date. It worked okay on the upper swivel mount and I drove it nicely (Funny thing, my MPG jumped to almost 19 from 16.5). I changed the serpentine belt and whipped up this brace from the Broken mount to a bolt on the Timing Chain Cover. Works good so far (400 miles). Funny as much oil is on the motor, it never loses a drop between changes?
