      Welded in a new core support and Motor Mount

      Hi,

      I haven't posted in a while, but have completed some rather major fabrication work on the front of the Aveo adding a new lower core support and modified Scion TC Motor mount. Here's a link to the pictures, along with some pictures in the thread.

      If you have any questions, let me know.

      Its to help keep the motor from twisting back and forth. I have had to rework all three mounts and my transmission bell housing is broke due to bad motor mount design. I finally gave in and did what Chevy should have done originally.

      Thanks! Here are some examples of my motor mount issues.

      Transmission mount separated one night as I pulled into a parking lot. The bolts ripped through the aluminum and the motor came to rest on my control arm brace.



      I had to rig up a temporary brace after this, not shown in this picture which lasted well over a year.



      Wish I filled them or mostly filled them early on, I could have avoided all of this if I did.



      the temporary brace



      This last picture if you look on the bottom, you'll see threads. This is where one of the bolts go through the transmission bell housing... I no longer have that section of bell housing.
