no they're not. the guy that was making them for him got a new job and is no longer interested in making them.

I've attempted to email bob Firestine and the guy who supposedly makes them. No response from them...

 

[incogrhino]

thats what I got for months.... same thing, nothing

 

[CrznDawg]

If no one is making them, can someone give some dimensions and I will make my own? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Here's a thread from a while back, if interested. Since the newness has worn off and there are a few out/have more use on them, I would be interested in hearing if there are any downsides.

If you do decide to make them, let me know. I'll definitely buy one.

Received an email from Matt Bier. He is the person who makes the mounts. Here is what he stated:

"I responded to your email a few weeks ago and also left a message on your answering machine. Yes we are still making the motor mounts I currently have an order for ten sets in right now I will be expecting the raw parts within two weeks. Welding and powder coating will only take a few days then they will be ready to ship. I will contact you as soon as they are ready."

It appears that he is still making them. His official email address is:

mbier@comcast.net

Send him an email and get on the list for these. They are nice mounts.

I will probably do poly mounts.
