I am not sure about the mounts (honestly did not know Rockauto sold OEM style mounts for the S2k) but but looking them up on there the list two, one being made by DEA/Marmon Ride Control and one by Westar. Both are companies that sell through places like advanced auto, autozone. I have no idea how good or bad their parts are as I have not knowingly bought anything of theirs so its hard to say anything towards their quality. If it were me (And I did replace mine last year) if going with OEM style on the S2000 I would buy from Honda.

Anyone uses Puddymod mount have to reinforce weld on the stock fuse box mount? Mine is still intact (new engine mount) so I imagine the ETD is purely decorative now but as the engine mounts wear out, the engine will move a bit and that stock fuse box bracket is not going to cut it....only a couple small spot welds is keeping it in place right now it looks like.

If we can somehow source (or make) a bracket like this (gold color in pic) itd be perfect.

That’s the j’s engine torque damper and strut tower bar. Pretty sure it’s still available.

Yeah but you have to buy the whole strut bar and ETD etc...to the tune of $450..
Also the bar will rub the intake tube.

Ahhh I see. Maybe try hitting up LHT performance? They make the master cylinder brace that mounts in a similar way I would bet they could make that bracket pretty easily.

Ingalls ETD is what you need - too bad it's discontinued - much more secure and effective mounting compared with other ETD

I'm using the Megan/Hardrace engine mount with Ingalls ETD.
