Titleist71 can only hope to improve
Can the little dampener be mounted to a place on the front of the engine compartment....versus mouting to a point going back? Why not going forward or is the distance too long?

well.. all of your designs look ok.. but notice how high up the one with the yellow valve cover is.. and how close it is to the side of hte motor.. so to be effective.. it would have to be parallel to the belts and whatnot.. so why not mounting it to the power steering pump bracket?

Wait, the auction was only for one of those arm things?

After many beers and and staring at the engine bay
the best way would be to have a bracket where the brake resv. is located
(as previouly stated by someone)
and design a bracket that bolts to engine mount on the driver side.

Man i wish I still had my welder.

Everyone's obsessed with mounting the damper to the strut tower bolt...

How about mounting it from the back of the engine somewhere to the firewall?

I'm gonna go out and take a look.
