General Broken engine mount

[smokeme]

Ok got the turbo panda back running last night. After 2 passes on the strip this morning i broke the bolt on the lower engine mount(the one on the tranny). Has this ever happened to anyone or is the power simply too much for this small bolt to cope with(i estimate around 140hp needs dyno testing soon)

I've not managed to break that.. and it struck me as a fairly substantial bolt, when I salvaged the (4 speed) gearbox out of the scrapped CL last week.

Yes the bolt is a bit thick but it broke right after the 2 nuts(why 2?), I replaced it this afternoon and it seems to be holding. Not sure how much more the tranny is going to take. Sleepy now i´ll post something more substancial when i get the time tomorrow.|)
