[Shotimes] Re-enforced motor mounts

[Jack M.]

PEC Performance actually sells motor mount re-inforcers. They are
basically hollow tubes that you slide over the current motor mount and
bolt it in. it turns any dead mount into a brand new sturdy mount that
will never need to be replaced. 

Real easy to do. Just unbolt the top of each mount, slide the new
"housing" over the current mount, bolt it back into place. It took about
an hour to do the whole job without having to jack up the car or support
the motor in any way. I didn't believe it until it was done to my car,
but it actually works. 

You can find them here:
http://www.pecperformance.com/
the page is kinda hard to navigate, instead of clicking on Products,
click on Cars and Taurus SHO then scroll down to the bottom.
they are $60 for a set of 3 (to cover all of the mounts).

I sound like a damn advertisement for the place, so I'm gonna stop right
now.
