V8Roadster Cadillac Motor Mounts Fixed
Below is what the V8Roadster sleeve as included in their kit looks like. It is marginally smaller than the distance between the face of the bushings when the bushings are installed. This would cause the clevis, when tightened, to use the face of the bushing as the mount rather than locating on the sleeve. This was turning the bushing into the mounting surface instead of the medium to quell NVH.
I contacted Sean from SadFab to have a custom made sleeve made. He has helped me out in the past with 3d printed parts and custom machined parts. Needless to say, this small difference in sleeve diameter seems to have made a difference when the sleeve was assembled. Below is the side by side of the included sleeve on the left and Sean's sleeve on the right.
This is what the motor mount looks like when the stock sleeve is pressed into the bushings.
Here is a photo of Sean's new sleeve in the v8roadster clevis. It is a pretty precise and tight fit.
Below is what the mount looks like with Sean's sleeves installed.
And here is a quick video I made showing that the motor mounts can now rotate freely without clamping on the bushings themselves.
