Something tells me NVH with solid engine mounts might be a little harsh though! Although maybe its done shittily enough to not really be solid anyways.

Someone thought this was sassier than a bolt

Edit: I meant to say “easier.” I am not changing it.

S omewhere in a drawer, there's another severed handle just waiting for his day in the sun.

I would guess this is a generator or pump or something.

I think the actual bushing is rubber so there is some isolation. I am impressed by what appears to be really nice welding on vanadium tool steel to mild steel.

“Drop forged” should be pretty strong if they used good quality steel.

I dunno. They used beefy looking d rop- forged wrenches, cross-braced it and the welds look half-way decent. It’s not pretty but I don’t doubt it will survive. I can see this being done for a failed mount during a Lemons race.

It’s a Cummins 24V in a ratrod.

Hmmm...I found it once before, but can’t seem to locate it on the googles. Apparently it’s not even the only one.. .

Oops. You’re right. OP is pass side, that one is DS. Good catch!

Actually I think it’s a 12V now...whoops...

I can’t decide if that’s a total abomination or a work of art.

I’m not as enthusiastic about using a cam for what appears to be a structural member. Those are usually make of cast iron, which is brittle and heavy.

Thats an expensive solution

indeed. As has been discovered in the thread, this is a rat rod so it’ s there for the looks.

A friend who’s a marine master tech, and doesn’t own an adjustable like that because he despises them, would have an aneurysm looking at that.

I like sassier better.

What is that camshaft being used for? I really hope it isn't structural. Cams are brittle and weak to any bending/flexing.

that looks much better than this hacked steering system I photographed last fall.
