[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.
