Title: Front Engine Mount
Post by: pspeaks on November 29, 2009, 04:02:58 PM
I've tried to find contact information for Terry Schulte but haven't had any luck.  Does anyone know the source for the front engine mount rubber Terry used on his car and maybe the remote oil filter as well?  Thanks for any information.

Contact Ted Lathrop (www.fastcars.com).  Pretty sure he built Terry's car.

The filter remote looks like a Canton unit...

Yes, but Ted machines the body to make the adapter much thinner (about 1-1/4' thk)

You guys are making this so easy for me, Thank you so much.  I have a complete fabrication and machine shop available to me with 2 milling machines lathes and a CNC table so we can manufacture pretty much anything we can draw but if parts are available, even if they need modifing, it saves a lot of time.  Thanks again

Oh, I forgot about the filter adaptor.  As I'm a machinist, my friends have challenged me to give making my own a shot.  I'll take pictures and share.
