Failed inspection...options?

[Ahoragi]

My 99 failed for the first time. Here's what I gotta fix:

Coolant hose clamp snapped. (easy fix)
Rear gas tank skid literally falling off. (easy fix)
Exhaust manifold bolt broken off in rear (exhaust shop will fix it)
body mounts (middle) rusted out.

My question is what is the best way to take care of the middle body mounts? They are bad as in a screwdriver pokes holes right into them. It appears it's only the middle ones under the door on both sides.

Is it possible that these guys make a safe-t-cap for that area?

These inspections sound like BS. I guess the one good thing about Oregon, is they don't have inspections!

UCF makes the mounts, and they aren't all that much. Is there enough frame left to weld to?

I haven't seen a positive about living in California in a long time, but no inspections would be one.

Nope, not even them. Once a sports teams gets involved in negative politics they are done in my eyes.

I think the OP is talking about the body mounts on the tub torque boxes, not the frame. The only stock replacements I know of are from Classic Enterprises. I got the full length ones, and they took some massaging to get them to fit tight. They do make some short patch sections that might work for you. Link:

Right Side KEY-0487-319
Left Side KEY-0487-317
Start your search with the KEY words if link does not work. After Morris rebuilt the website it loose the user friendly feature. Bet this will result on loss of business. Let me know if need more help.

Inspections are such bullshit. They should only be for safety - tires, brakes, etc.


Meh.

They are nothing more than a way for the government to make $$$ for themselves and the inspection businesses.

The inspection business makes like $2 for every inspection they do. In Texas, it takes at least 30 minutes for them to complete the inspection... and that's for places that don't have to do emissions (fuck you, Austin Texas). My buddy that does them only does them because he can use it as an opportunity to sell washer blades or other services. $4 an hour isn't enough.

I'm not sure how it gets divided between the county and the state.
