The inside is welded with mig:)can see the ends of the weld on some pictures
 
looks a touch warm on the outside. nice mount design!
Are you thinking about the color?:)Didnt think I put to much heat in it but..I always get this color on blacksteel, execpt when I put alot of gas to it..No I had 130 amps, 6mm plate and ca. 16l gas per minute..Far off?
grind the rust / anything on the base metal off next time, i really like those mounts! top notch work!
I grinded the rust where I welded of course:)The rest will be blasted of and zinked:)
Thank you so much, really nice to hear after spending to many hours on a freaking engine mount:lol:

Do you plan on having the drivers side upper mount clear an A/C compressor? If so, you should make me one, or send me dimensions :D

I'm sorry, no plans on ac in this car..The hottest day this summer have been maaaaybe 25 degrees this summer:rofl: Then it's enough to just skip the sweater..

But if you think it will clear when you see the finished mount I could send you drawings:)
