I feel your pain on this one. I have been doing the ebay thing and ordering from a couple of other places. I ended up with a machined aluminum YR4 motor mount pretty cheap from the team integy web site. and am in the process of building a slipper set up for my 870C.

That YR4 mount is pretty slick. Think I'll order one myself!

The YR4 motor mount from integy does look nice. I would have bought that one if I didn't buy a Yokomo motor plate I found on E-Bay.

I also bought some rims M4X from E-bay and just modeled a hub to adapt it my car. What do you guys think? They will provide the same offset as the original 91 Yokomo hubs and wheels.

Thanks for the help transmman908, I just couldn't get a PDf to load, it worked fine with the jpg's.

I also just ordered the Integy yr4 motor mount.

Very nice! You know, Team Suzuki makes those adapters, and you can find them on eBay as well.

[MIKE VALENTINE]

Do you have a querry I can use to find them. Because the adapters from Team Suzuki that I saw on E-bay were for the old Yokomo rims. I can't sem to find those either, except for $65 a set, to expensive for me.

[Toasted Coastie]

are these the ones?

[MIKE VALENTINE]

Those are the ones i saw also and they won't fit the rims I bought. Original Yokomo rims had a square recess for the wheel adapter to sit in. The newer MX have a Hex design, so they won't work for me.

[Toasted Coastie]

Did you check out the link I pm'd you for 2.2 rims with square mounts?

[MIKE VALENTINE]

Yes, I have always liked dish wheels better then spoke wheels. That is the place I bought the other rims from. I also found 2 rear belts, still in search of front belts.

[MIKE VALENTINE]

I haven't taken any pictures of the car yet, but have put some of them into CAD. From what I have done, is it a 91 works? Or I'm i wrong about that.
