Engine Mount

[Bob Goding]

Just browsing the Rebuild & Mod. book and I noticed that some pics have the front motor mount bar [pic 10-3 page 184]
installed with the flange up and some have it up the other way .
I just measured mine and they are not symmetrical.--- I suppose
It will all become clear when I try to put it in the car [thats a way down the track yet!] and my car is not here to have a look at whats in there now.
But Murphy reckons that if it can--it will !
Any thoughts on that previous post of mine re the case thrubolt holes being countersunk?--Wayne?

Unless you have repainted the crossmember, it will be really obvious which way it goes.

Good point Chris. The one in the book is an early one (from a '74, I think), although I got that mount just for the book, as the engine that was used with the book was originally from my 914-6.

Anyways, which flange are you specifically referring to?

And what was the other post?

Thanks Wayne, you answered my 'other post' about the countersunk thru bolt holes,today. -------Chris, the mount can still go flange up or flange down,but there is a chamfer in one side of the end bushes , so I guess it will become obvious on installation as you say.
Many thanks for your help.
