Twin Turbo 1971 Scamp Project
Today's work session. Scrapyard Six.
Ok,with both brackets tacked we yanked them out and Tim hit them with the MIG. As these "conversion" mounts bolt to the stock slant K motor pads with beefy BMW isolators we thought it best to use fairly thick material (1/4 and 5/16), with 7 gauge 1.5 x 2 tube to keep any flexing in check.
A little vertical band saw trimming makes them look a bit more professional
Sanded and ready for paint.
Painted and trimmed brackets.
Nice and beefy BMW Inline 6 motor mounts.
Driver's mount and bracket temporarily reinstalled installed on engine.
Another mockup install shot.
Staged shot of Tim (forced 340), just doing nothing under the hood.
