The best motor tie downs

I have 8 of these limiting straps available. they're custom made to fit sy/tys using factory bolts and are strong as hell. the upper mount bolts to the lower alternator bolt and the bottom mount goes right into some big bolt in front of the upper control arm and behind the steering box(don't quote me on this-it's been a while since I had one of these on my sy or even thought about them). I can always dredge up a pic of one installed from several different angles. It's hard to see in the pic below, but there's 2 bends in the lower bar mount and it sits just perfectly against and around the frame rail. It saved me and who knows how many others from having to do motor mounts before I was ready. If you're tired of ripping apart pep boy's tailgate cables or feeling the vibration from a chain, this is for you.
These remaining 8 are the last of the second batch of 20 I had made up for me by the guys at hard core hot rods and race cars here in S.D. I got the idea when I saw a front susp. limiting stap that was very similar on a mustang they had in the shop, except it had no metal mounts at either end. When I found out that they made it in-house w/the huge hydraulic crimper they had I took a show of interest both here on the forums and the list. Had the frirst run of 20 sold before they were made and enough lingering interest had me get a second order made. But the hassles of selling to the general public through the internet made me quickly abandon selling anymore save the few I'd already sent out.
I'm tired of looking at them hanging in my garage.

$$$ 45.00 /ea. shipped to your door in the cont. US. No international or any spooky payments. Also- there's 8 available, 1 of wich is sold regardless of the outcome of the GP. I'll only sell the other 7 if they're all sold. 7 ppl. buying 1 each or 1 person buying 7, or any variation of them all selling or I don't really even want to hassle with shipping any of them .
1st come, first served. post here to get on the list. When we hit 7 I'll send my add. pm'ed to all to send money order/cahier's check and reply w/your shipping add. and we'll wrap this up quickly.

Re: The best motor tie downs

not to bash that one, but i don't think its the 'best' one. This tie down has always seemed nicer to me since it doesn't just pull on one side of the alternator bracket:

Re: The best motor tie downs

no big deal. I wasn't referring to the design or mounting as "the best", only that this was/is the strongest, best fitting tie down from the frame rail to alt. bracket. hell, with the holes already drilled you could mount the bottom or top end wherever you like. I even know of 2 guys who welded them in on the bottom.
Oh yeah, I'm also prolly game for trades.Hit me up.

This Guy Is A F****n Crook! I Have A Paypal Statement Showing I Paid Over Three Weeks Ago! Still Haven't Recieved The Tie Down And He Avoids My Calls.

Best Of All, When I First Paid For Them And He Was Already 2days Late With Them, He Promised Two Tie Downs To Make Up For His B.s.!
