Was thinking about this for my 2110. Have had to go to a slightly harder nose mount, was thinking this may be a bit of help. Anyone use one yet? Thoughts?

Looks like a nice product. If you install one, let us know what you think and how it works for you.

Great idea! You definately need nose cone support on a bus. The Factory was Nada. Especially with a bigger motor.

oldspeed makes something similar using stock rubber mounts but the Wolfgang mount looks really nice if the rubber holds up.

I have run a primitive version on Shasta snow trip for 3 years now after tearing apart a front mount and losing ability to shift gears. They work great to take load off the front mount but they add a LOT of noise to the bus. All the vibration/resonance of the transmission gets transmitted to the frame and throughout the bus.
But they work! More or less eliminates the need for a front mount.

I have the Wolfgang setup in my '57 panel w/1956cc. Works awesome, no drilling of any kind. Just bolt it up. Because of the later trans i have in place of the split case. I had to run a Concept 1 front mount setup which i was afraid was putting stress on the nose cone.

Dang, 26 bucks shipping. I'll be installing my 3rd mount along with this hopefully it will be my last.
