Yeah the mount will snap off just after where the urethane goes in.
I've got the same setup as you do Jake in your sig...its a red EF with B18 swap but I would deff. like to have your hood if its real carbon.
Yeah I think I will get the Avid ones since they too come with life time warranty and they are much cheaper than hasports stuff since the name is different. I just got my old one fixed today but when I get a little extra money I'm going to order in those avid mounts and linkage....how much of a difference did the new linkage make for you because I am currently using a modified integra link and am looking to make the shifting pattern much tighter than the loose ass shit I deal with now.
