1 Hockey puck per side , I just pressed it in with the vice and some WD40, they were in there tight as hell , but for added security I drilled a few small holes in the top on each side and put rivets in them...

and thats my cheap ass GRM motor mount...

Post by: Teg2boo on April 30, 2009, 10:12:48 PM: I'll give it a try. At least you don't need to wait for the urethane to dry out.

A friend of mine just did this weeks ago, loves it. Best part is he got the hockey pucks for free from a friend who had ~20 left in his car when he bought it, so his entire cost was $0

I need a torch

I found it was quicker to use a flat blade screw driver and a hammer to chissil it out, then use the torch to burn whats left. I still managed to set the workshop smoke detector off lol.

Post by: Eggylshatch on May 09, 2009, 11:30:58 PM: I would want to use a little polyurethane in there with the hockey pucks to glue them in/together. It would serve as your lubrication to slide the pucks in there too, and dry up solid as FUCK.
