New PPS motor mount in Kraton 6s

[morrjr71]

A week ago today I installed the PPS motor mount, diff support, and diff cover with roll bar mount on my Kraton 6s. It's so easy to set the gear mesh perfectly: the new mesh is considerably quieter than the old mesh, and the slight wear on the pinion and spur gears is a relic of setting the mesh the old-fashioned way. Pic is without the roll bar installed as the roll bar covers up much of the mount.

I love the pps stuff, it’s so beautiful and professional packaging is Shhhweeet
All mine are the older version pps mounts, but work great too

Sorry for the noob question but how does this mount allow you set the mesh differently?

It has a fine threaded adjusting screw that moves the motor plate in an out of the mount in fine increments. Once you have the perfect gear mesh, the adjusting screw is locked in place with a grub screw so there's no chance the motor plate will move while tightening the top screws down.

...and here I was excited to replace the V3 mount with a V5 mount in mine.

Just to illustrate what @morrjr71 was saying, this is where the screw and capping grub screw go. And yes, PPS is the business when it comes to motor mounts. It made my car so much quieter, these things are worth their weight in aluminum.

Thanks for that explanation. I know what my next motor mount will be.

Appreciate the visual aid as well.
