I'm just saying there's no tech data on it that you can show where mazda says "it was reinforced to prevent cracking in the dowel pin area". So all we can do is sit here and say what it *LOOKS* like to us.




You don't need technical data. You can SEE that they put more iron in the dowel pin area of the FD irons. What other purpose would they need?

The problem is your mounts are not design like stock ones.

You end up with a twisting force on the mounts, and this is never a good thing.

Stock mounts are designed to handle a straight, downwards force.

Any flexing of my mounts will cause the inside edge of the mounting "cups" to contact the oil pan mounting flange on the center iron, transferring the weight to the center iron.
