THE STEADY MARCH OF PROGRESS

Recently I was redesigning one of our mount kits and it got me to thinking. Over the years Hasport has made numerous changes to the mount kits. Some changes were brought on by warranties, some where aesthetic, and some reduced manufacturing costs. The mount kit that probably went through the most changes is the second mount kit I designed, the B-series mounts for the 88-91 Civic and CRX chassis. 

After some digging in our warranty bin, I came up with an example of each one of the iterations for the right-hand mount. Here they are.





As you can see, they've always been aluminum, but over the years as engines made more and more horsepower, the the mounts got beefier. win spite of more powerful engines, there are still some of the original mount kits installed in people's cars. Every now and again some one sends in a old set to have the urethane replaced. 

Here is an example of our original mount kit. This particular kit is 10 years old, but it's been 11 years since we introduced that design. My how time flies when your having fun. 



Here's what the kit looks like NOW.



Thanks for your support all these years.
