It is made by Aaron Boughton, from Fouthill Fab.
The welding is top notch and the part is very nice.
If you need his email, don't hesitate to send me a PM.

I've just got the regular Bugpack/Empi/whatever ones, but haven't used them yet. A friend had the gearbox in his early Notch solid mounted and had a service schedule for what bolts to re-tighten on a weekly basis, which ones to do every two weeks and which ones to do every month! He was using it as his only car though.
