Message	Youd be amazed how many cars are running around with completely severed motormounts. Remember, a structural element is only as strong as the weakest portion,so a big beefy arm like nissans going into a worthless lump of weak rubber is, well, you get the point. Well made tubular structural members can be incredibly strong. Antihero These 2530's ain't half bad ;)
