My old motor mounts were probably the original ones & had seen much better days, however, ( & surprisingly) though the top mounting plates were completely broken free from the rubber base, the car ran very well, with no noticeable vibration. Even after the tranny conversion.
During the process of converting to a TR6 type A OD tranny, I realized it was time to replace the mounts.
My problem originated with the passenger side mount alignment.
no matter what I've tried, ( levering the engine, jacking & moving, loosening bolts ,etc.)
I can only get the front bolt in that base plate and it is out of alignment by about 1/4".
the formats of the plates are correct.
i have the drivers side mount bolted in correctly.
my current solution is to clamp the back flange of that plate with a heavy duty Stanley J1P1-HD mini-clamp. But I envision a short life for the mounts & worry about the engine alignment.
comments appreciated!
