Not to hijack the thread, but when is one of our mechanical geniuses going to design a simpler design for the original design front motor mount., or at least steal the design from another inline engine where the work has already been done?
I do not understand why a mount which has such a simple task needed to be so complex. Is it because of the inferior material of the era required such a design to work? Especially since it will eventually become soaked in oil in a very short amount of time.
Modern, oil resistant "rubber" must be available today that could be used in place of all of those metal parts, and vulnerable rubber pad.
