Show us your homemade carrier bearing mount!!!


Recommended Posts

After looking a Qman's and building mine, I have a question. Why didn't Subaru build the mounting tabs strait like most carrier bearings I seen and changed on trucks and such? Instead of the strange angles that thay are at. Hell I thought mine was bent or something.

I could go snap a pic if you want when I get home tonight but its pretty simple... welded bracket directly to unibody. Thought about a fancy bracket and bolting it all in but in the end said forget about it!

 

Thx Arch !_!

on the 4wd conversion sedan we used a drill and a chisel to separate the stock mounts from the 88 wagon, and welded them to the sedan and used self tapping screws. about burned the car to the ground, should have removed the carpet!! needless to say all the McD trash didnt help matters

john, when i go back to jims this tuesday, i can measure the mount that i built, it fits both ea81 and ea81 bodies.

 

what i did was built the mount around the carrier bearing, bolted it to the bearing, installed shaft and jacked it up against the body, from there i marked where i wanted the holes to be, took it out, drilled, put it back in, and drilled thru the floor with the holes i just made

 

on an ea82 the holes will be right where the trans tunnel starts, and between the seat belt release and the front rib the seat bolts to. it was rather simple to make, all in about 20 minutes, i spent more time looking for the appropriate metal than i did fabbing it up
