3rz swap motor mounts
« on: Sep 20, 2016, 04:34:01 PM »
Are there any manufacturers that sell 3rz swap motor mounts besides Chilkat? I bought a set of them, and they do not fit. Motor sits at wrong angle, transfer case mount binds, and the passenger side hits the 3rz factory ac compressor. He seems to not care or stand behind his products. Rant over. I do not have the equipment or time to build them, any options?

This is unfortunate. I hear this more and more about this guy.  :thumbdown: He is not making the PNW proud.

I had the same problem. I cut and modified mine. He offered to "make it right". If I'd send him mine he would make new ones. That is, until I told him I'd modified them to make them work. Then he quit responding to me.

I sent him pictures after I had them installed.  Thought he would do something about it. Then I read others were having same issues. I guess it was just a bad batch. It's sad they don't fit. They are very well made.

Toy only swaps mounts work. I've used them twice now on builds for friends.

Yah I'm kicking myself in the ass for not doing more reading before pulling the trigger on them.
