The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Engine Mounts

Over the summer I have been driving my 48 maple leaf 2 ton a fair bit, when driving loaded the engine will torque over and the fan will rub on fan shroud. After inspection of the rear engine mounts (bellhousing) I determined that they are totally shot. Now for the difficult part, I took the mounts out and cant find anything like them, they are a rectangle about 2.5" long 2" wide and about 1.5" thick with a threaded hole centered in them on top and bottom, has anyone seen this type before? I talked with chevs of the 40's and they had no listing for these, just the 2073 and 2060 that I found locally before. Any insight would be much appreciated.

From your description, the mounts sounds similar to those found on WW2 military. Do they look like these?

They look the same as those in the first picture but in the second picture it doesnt look like it had a threaded hole from the top. Mine have one bolt from the top going throught the bellhousing bracket and one comingnup from bottom going through the bracket mounted to the frame.

For the rubber part, snowplow bottom grader blades are rubber, here in the states, the stock is 4" x 1" by length, most likely neoprene. Put in the freezer if machine work needed.

I just bought front and rear engine mounts from Rock Auto and the metal plate for the front mount from The Filling Station for my 1946. Best prices out there.
