[s-cars] anyone want some custom subframe mounts?

Currently running Jason Petek's mounts all around for the last 3-4 
years.  For the most part they're good, but I'm concerned about the 
long-term livelihood of the rear mounts on the front subframe (over the 
front control arm's inner bushing).  The other three locations are 
simple clamshell types and they seem to be doing fine with the big 
washers to distribute the load.  But these two are mushrooming where the 
three bolts fasten it to the unibody.

Recently moved to northern Virginia and reacquainted with an old friend 
from college who has a machine shop in Manassas.  Think I'm going to 
have him make me something similar to Jason's, only out of steel instead 
of aluminum.  Trying to keep the pair plus new hardware to around 
$200ish, but not sure yet.  At that price does anyone want a set?  Not 
in a hurry right now, so it might be a couple months before anything 
happens.

And if anyone has an extra old mount lying about, I'd love to see some 
originals for a few measurements.
