Haaaaa. James texted me(he lives near me (and I've been witnessing his melding of 1 good car out of 2, which he desperately needs to tell all of you about!), and when he asked, I said I'm pretty sure I used 2 part plastic weld(polybutelene) and some mesh.  I said ask the list as it's been REALLY slow to see if it jump starts something....Ha.  My new to me Iphone was buzzing all day.(still love the simplicity/function of my flip phone)......Lit a candle under some older peoples butts apparently.....Ha.  I'm gonna test that/pull the 2 pans out of storage that I'm currently not sporting) this weekend as it's a long weekend...Used the Plastic weld/fiberglass mesh to fix my washer tub that had a 2-1/2" sheetrock screw fall thru the drain holes in washer, and basically rotozipped a slot in my drain tub during spin cycle.....Sears wanted $220 for a new tub for my 15yo stacker washer/dryer......looked on the bottom of drain tub, and it had a recycle symbol of 7(polybutylene).....Used the PlasticWeld and some fiberglass tape, and has been washing for 3 yrs now, and pretty sure it will work till the rest dies(many years longer than anything currently produced).  Have the Plastic Weld and some mesh on my 1982 Electrolux Vacuum head that cracked....did that about 5 yrs ago.....Lago hasn't had the pan on in almost 10 yrs, and it's the first set of many UFO's that hasn't warped in those 10.  Maybe the pan is responsible for warpage with those air tunnels?  No idea, but can't see leaks with the pan on can you?  I know I fixed one of the 2 pans, so will pull them out tomorrow and see if it's epoxy or plasticweld.....Once I'm "done" with the fixing of said vehicles, will put pans back on.....(said that 10 yrs ago).....Hope everyone's good, Roger, your car is low mileage/old, so it's a mount like others have posted.  Your diff is fine(change the fluid if you haven't done so while owning it).  Never seen a V8 that didn't have bad engine mounts(both of mine included, currently....Have them, just haven't dealt with it)......3 parts cars had failed tranny mounts(made it easier to remove....no bolts removal).  Have mounts for both cars that I haven't dealt with.  Every piece of rubber on these cars needs to be replaced with that or something rigid.....Gonna have to rechat the Delrin Subframe bushing thing, as I've got to deal with bushings on both cars, but hate the rubber as it rots with oil/pentosin.  Have one on Lago totally missing at this point, and still drives fine. 

Haven't heard from Ron(long time) or Tony or the true guru's(Ron is guru #4 behind Tony that is somewhere up with Bruce/Kieth and possibly above them .....Want to make the new Guru Tony(where you at?)...Haaaaaa)  Haven't heard from ¥ou in forever.....Bruce and Kieth(longer time).....Check in if you still look......There's a ton of other's out there, you know who you are.....Just say hi....Tom
