What dimensions are you going to make your spacers to?

Right here, just go off the sizes of my mounts, but 3/8ths each side is what vinnie does to equal a full set.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

3/8ths for each top and bottom of the mount right?

YOWZA....sizzlehot.

Did you try getting a hold of Vinnie. Seems like a lot of dinkin around to save $50.
unless you have the stock,saws and drills.

Meh, go to home depot get 10$ aluminum flat bar at 3/8 thick n make a few cuts n drill holes. Simple rather than spending 50 bucks. Just like egr block off plates I made.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

id make them before i spent 50 bucks on them. thats all easy to make. all you need is a drill, drill bits, and a right angle grinder with a cut off disk, bam spacer parts are made.

most have these tools or can borrow them.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

I didn't realize they had 3/8 stock.
Well good deal, it sounds like you got it covered.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

Yeah, I could probably use a dremel to cut.

Where does that spacer go without the holes? Under the motor mount?

home depot and lowes both have a fair good metal stock area. round bar flat stock, angle iron.

i helped my friend build landscape racks for all his equipment inside the new trailer he bought. all metal stock and hooks came from the depot.

we added maybe 6 more custom brackets/holders to it, and moved a few things around since these pics.

Yup motor mount.

N I'm not seeing 3/8 online there so I'll have to check. I'm thinking 1/4 inch on top n bottom will be good enough because they have that. Or ebay has 3/8 steel plates 8 inches for 15 shipped. N yeah, drill and grinder/dremel with cut off blades. They don't have to be pretty, just clean or round the edges a little to prevent digging into anything.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

OK my brainfart, I didn't even think when I got mine.
I have the makita grinder and discs plus titanium bits for drilling......oops...didn't wanna deal I guess.

Jomamma>>>the big one goes under the engine mount base.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

No I hear ya n it'd be easier to just buy them. But I have the polys off the car and can test n make sure it all fits. It's easier to just buy em n throw them in if you're not swapping mounts all at the same time. I just figured to save a few bucks n it's easy.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

I know I checked before I went with Vinnies. I am all for doing things myself for fractions of pennies.
I ended up thinking if I did it.....I would order it from metal depot. I wasn't sure on the size so I pulled it and ordered them.

Lowes has it

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

Aluminum.....we don't need any more rustables
Vinnies are aluminum, although it wouldn't matter besides the rusting issue
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

Lowes ace home depot all carry flat stock. Use aluminum mainly because its easier to cut and drill through.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - FSIC, GXP Seats & Coilovers Installed!

Okay, that's what I was figuring. N I might go check in store today. If not order online. But I wasn't seeing any in 3/8 on lowes or hd website.
