After a set of old beam mounts, just any old shagged mounts you may have changed recently.
Having a go at making my own solid mounts so what you got?

Can't help with the old mounts, but do you just weld them up or do you need to fill them with anything first?

I'll do a guide when I do mine, I'm not filling them tho, just taking the rubber out and welding some 3mm steel into them.
My mate has a set so I'm gonna copy them.
Like I said I'll do a guide on here when I get some mounts
How much would you want for them Sean?

No idea tbh mate, shouldn't be too much. Royal Mail will be £ra*e.99 as usual but that sounds good to me.
Drop me a pm when they are off and we'll sort it out.
Cheers mate
Sounds good Kent!
Let me know what you have and I'll come pick them up!

I just uses a wire wheel on the grinder to remove the rubber from where the welds go, cut a few triangular and rectangle plates and welded them in, just stand up wind from it when welding

It's only 2-3mm steel, pretty much any welder will work!
See how mine go and if you want a set I'll do you a discount for a reach around at FCS!?

Hahaha proper made me chuckle!
Not sure yet mate, depends how much of a ball ache they are really.
Kent said he'd seen them go on eBay for about 130 so I'd probably try to do them at around a ton I think.
That sound about right?

I wouldn't be doing it to make money, as long as materials are covered and welding stuff I'm happy.
Like I said its more something to keep me occupied over winter really!
I'll see how mine come out first tho before making any final decisions.
And like I said it depends entirely on your blowie skills! Lol
