Well I took Caseys advise and built a lower profile version .it sits at the same level as the standed front brace .
I tryed some nolatane bushes and found it to harsh then went to some rubber bushing and it almost livable as a daily driver but there is still a harsh vibration at 1800 RPM. So back to the R&D table and put in some bigger bushes. On the up side there is a noticable increase in the stifness and power derlivery .the power is transfered much quicker now the motor doesn't more as much anymore.

I had the same trouble with vibration in the 1800 - 2100rpm area. The feel with the cross member in place at high revs is unreal the power and shifts are crisp...love it.

Anyone had any luck with this style of mount? Photos?

When I work out how to stop the vibration I will get it powdercoated bright Red
At least it has some pink bits

Try using some angle iron (from the gearbox)and moving the bushes 'upright' (90 degrees from where you have them) for me this stopped the vibration. Making it like a conventional gearbox mount.
