    I recently purchased a MS6 with the old(er) design RMM from James Barone Racing (PN: MS6-RMM). The JBR site only has info on the updated design, which I believe was still under the same part number. I did reach out to JBR directly, and they responded that they do not stock parts for the old model. This is longer than it needs to be... but I did ask for the specs/a drawing of the old design, and I haven't heard back.

    Now - finally - my question. Anybody know the spec for replacement bushings? I'd much prefer to order replacements without having to pull the RMM, put calipers on it, and wait until parts arrive. I know it's listed as an 80D bushing, but I don't know OD/ID/height(depth?). Rooka rike dis

    Yeah - Not trying to bash the guy just yet since it has been less than a week, but I was a little disappointed with this response. It was prompt, though!
    "Sorry, we no longer carry any replacement parts for the rear motor mount that you have there. For pictures of our transmission mount, you can find them under the Mazda section for your vehicle on our website."

    Good probability bushing source changed so they don't have it. Hell CPE used a hot pour with pins and shit in there. Irreplaceable too.

    Yeah - Not faulting JBR for not stocking bushings for a product they no longer sell. It'd just be cool to know the spec; there are plenty of bushing manufacturers. I'll just pull it tonight and take measurements for all to know from here and forever forward.

    I do have a bunch of 1-1/4" square al billets. That'd be a fun ride with a solid RMM!

    A micrometer can measure what you have. Just measure the mount.

    Seems like he was hoping to not have to pull the mount, fair.

    Sorry @DavisCO it seems like you're stuck pulling the mount to measure, if you do get specs let us know what they are.
