Motor mount weld nut

I went to install my long tubes and poly mounts. Well everything goes great, mac mids came off easy and the pass side mount does aswell. Got to put the mount back in and as i tighten the mount bolt the weld nut breaks loose. I ended up cutting the bolt in half and got the mount on. Im not sure if leaving 2 out 3 bolts holding the mount is a good idea. What do you all think? I could buy an aftermarket kmember but no money for that and dont have an engine hoist for the install.


This really set me back. The way things were going i thought we would have headers and both mounts in. Instead i just got the pass side mount bolted down.

Re: Motor mount weld nut

Right side mount or left side mount? I could probably live with two bolts on the right side.
Can you get to it at all? I there is room for you to hold a nut in place. It doesn't have to be welded??

Its the passenger side. No way to get on there to put a nut. Its the bolts that hold down the mount to the kmember. There is one bolt on each side.
