Strengthen OEM Front Strut Bar and Engine Mounts

I noticed the super weak strut bar mount when changing suspension. One thing i wanted to do is reinforce it.

Part of the reason to reinforce it is so that i can mount an engine torque dampener e.g. Ingalls or Spoon

Came across someone in Japan that has done exactly that and highly recommended it via

Window Weld

Along with strengthening the strut bar, I want to also strengthen the engine mounts and do everything in one hit. Someone in Japan has modified the stock gearbox engine mount. They used a Bostik rubber which is used to install windscreens. Another used a DiY urethane pour kit.

A common term used on the internet is window weld engine mounts e.g.

From what i found they are commonly using a shore rating of 60A.

90A was rated too rough for a daily. One thing you can do if you do the 90A is drill a few holes in the mount if it does seem to rough and noisy.

Try googling for DIY Polyurethane Engine Mounts and shore rating to find what you are looking for.

Shore scale see here

e.g. a standard car tire is around 60A, 75A for a garden hose and 90A/45D is an extension cord.

A is the softer rating. Where D is that harder rating e.g. 70D is skateboard wheels.
