Finally found the time to deal with cropping and resizing images of the new Ecotec/LD9 upper mounts.

Regular and Polished versions side by side
Close up. Polished aluminium is hard to get a good picture of, in person it's almost a mirror finish.
Polished Top
Polished Back
Solid Bushings
New lower dog bone with rubber bushings and stainless sleeves.
This is one of them half cut. I like the way it looks so I think I'll use it as a paperweight.

Well I think you just turned everyone on this site into 5 year olds on a sugar high.
I must applaud you for the work though, if I can ever afford one, I know where I'm getting it from.

I don't even own a J anymore and I'd buy one just to admire the craftsmanship.
Interesting.
I've never seen grade 8 hardware in silver.
In the pics, there are only the three marks on the bolts.
I've only seen that on grade 5 hardware.
The 8s have always been bronze with 6 markings I believe.
And are bronzish colored.
Arps were not marked at all, and were ss.
Are those grade 8 bolts?

WOW! maybe time to upgrade my RK+MP mount!
Thanks for all of the compliments.

Actually it is. Because we mixed up and didn't ship it right away I had it polished.

You are absolutely right. When we were originally planning and designing the mount we picked grade 8 hardware as a starting point. Somewhere along the line we added the center column and increased the bolt diameter. After crunching all of the numbers we realized that the grade 8 bolts were overkill even by my standards and swapped out to the grade 5 because it looked better and was still complete overkill. I don't think there was a noticeable difference in cost from my supplier and becasue we had the flexibility we decided to go with what looked best. I don't have the notes in front of me but the grade 5 hardware worked out to around 30,000 lbs of shear strength. Because of the design none of the weight rests on the bolts. The bolts are simply there to hold the mount together and preload the bushings. I don't know where it still says grade 8 hardware but I'd like to change it so people aren't confused of mislead. That being said if anyone wants grade 8 hardware just let me know, I have a box full of it that was ordered early on and am more then willing to include them free of charge.
just ordered one
