motor mount

I'm looking for a solid steel motor mount on the upper passenger side of my 2000 cavalier non eco.

Can any one help?

I dont believe there is one being sold. There have been a couple people who have made them or had them made for themselves.

The poly mounts are pretty strong though. I would think having a solid mount would cause issues with the knock sensor on the engine.

Neither are solid for the upper. They all have poly.

This is the one I was thinking of, but its for an ecotec anyways...Just remembered seeing one months ago...

To the OP, why exactly do you need a solid metal mount anyways? Why not run a poly mount?

Rick that is not a solid mount.

No one makes a solid mount.

"Due to the modular design of our mount the polyurethane bushings can be swapped out for solid aluminium bushings allowing you to run a completely solid mount at the track and swap back to a more comfortable mount during the off days/season. "

I'm no expert but explain how that is not solid?


Also it is available for the eco and the ld9, if anyone cares...

I'm all good I fabricated my own solid upper motor mount at work today. It works pretty good.

Its pretty simple all I did was take the top of my mount off and replace the upper rubber part to solid steel. It fits in the mounts housing with a .001 of an inch.

Scratch my last post, that .001 of an inch made a lot of clunking. So I took it out made a much more precise one and welded it in. Runs mint.
