Good news on the horizon. Schumacher Creative Services is teaming up with USTC Motorsports to manufacture Mopar motor mounts again. Stay tuned !!!!
Only time will tell with USCT, they promised the moon well over a year ago & have yet to deliver much of anything.
so when will they deliver yours?Talked to USCT today and the deal with Schumacher fell through but they are making mounts. You have to call them or message them thru Facebook tho.
Got email today saying they have shipped. So we'll see.so when will they deliver yours?
Schumacher has been pretty much MIA for years now. Years! Do you think dealing with them on the business side is any easier than dealing with them as a customer?
It takes time to develop tooling for a production run, never mind the legal BS involved with copyright stuff. And let’s not forget that the raw materials are only available in hit and miss fashion right now. Lots of USCT parts that were already developed are on back order due to raw material supply chain issues. That’s not just a USCT problem, that’s everyone in the industry right now.
But hey, it’s easier to complain than actually do something about it right?
do you think anything Schumacher had was copyrighted ?
I think the value of Schumacher at this point is existing tooling and development work.
Some of their stuff was copies of factory parts (obsolete motor mount brackets, etc)
Which is probably a good deal in the first place since MOPAR kind of screwed the pooch designing motor mounts on so many models. Really, using a rubber sandwich with little or no limiters to keep pieces from making air space between glued parts! I liked it when the captive mounts came along but it was a pretty tough job to swap the old A,B and E body mounting system to the later F body system, which was why I never ran an old sandwich mount without a restraining device added. I tried a set of solid mounts ONCE and broke a tail shaft housing ONCE, learned a lesson there, simplest solution was and still is the best solution. Use the stock parts and add something help them live. Be sure is has some flex to it, and that is a chain ! Yeah that works but it's kind of OKY or HOKY or just lame. My best add on was a couple of fabed plates with a nice piece of stranded cable inserted in a couple of sleeves and brazed in, be sure the center has a hole the same of the cable and the other half of the bore is larger so there is room for the brass to form a head that can't simply be pulled through the bore.Good news on the horizon.
