"semi solid" FC front diff mount

[theantirotor]

Saw a thread on the club a minute ago that had a different type of front diff mount in it.  Seems like a pretty good idea, besides the fact the poster may be a scammer.

You will still rip the stock mounting tabs off of the cross member. Pinion snubber or not. Over priced, for a home brew item.....put some drag race launches on it with a slick.

As was mentioned in the thread reinforcing the tabs is all but a requirement.

Maybe Ronin could fab something similar up.
I know I would be interested!!!

I could build you something like that but I really don't see the point.......

Why not?  If it has to do with the 8.8 IRS setup coming out, that is not going to be a viable option for everyone.  Don't take that as trying to slam the 8.8 setup at all as I would like to have one for myself once they are in production but I am sure there are going to be people that won't want to go that far.

better feel?
IDK seemed like a good idea, im running ford power so i wont be breaking anything 

Why would it not be a good idea?
seems like an upgraded semi-stock design.
Im sure you guys have more experience with this so let me know whats up dudes

Here's what happens when torque is applied to the differential via an 8 rotor motor. (with pinion snubber installed):


Here's a very simple solution to prevent previous carnage. That tab will not hold even with a pinion snubber. There is very little drive line noise. Some, but not terrible at all.

I was going to say, wouldn't a ray device do the same thing for much less and be less complex?

Correct Weed Hopper, plus it helps with weight transfer.

I think that new mount is ok, don't get me wrong. But it will not solve the total problem.

lol. I'll be building one of the "Ray devices" here in the next week or two, just got my polythylene diff mounts, so i can put in the lsd rear.
