Motor Mount/Yolk

[Lenny Bruce]

Good morning Everyone! My question today is the front motor mount/yolk has dislodged one of the springs from the nipples. I found what appeared to be a broken half inch nylon spacer resting on the radiator support… I’m not sure where it came from. Does the Yolk require a spacer when installed? The coupe has a rear Float A Motor set up but stock in the front. I’d like to return the spring to its happy place but if theirs a spacer that needs replacement I’d like to do it right. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,Lenny

Are the springs connected to each other? I wonder if this is the common aftermarket “beehive” spring setup. I believe those had hard rubber dowels under each spring.

I replaced my front motor mount with an aftermarket unit from Bert’s that is similar to the B front mount

No the springs are separate

No nylon spacer in the original.

Ford originally had no yoke at all since the motor bolted directly to the front cross member. The spring set up was developed to keep the front cross member from cracking. The illustrated diagram is the first of the Yoke/spring set ups introduced on a May 1928 service bulletin. They later opened the center hole in the cross member more and did away with the bushing since it started cracking there. They started using a leather washer under the leaf spring along with a large area steel washer under the cross member to allow more movement of the yoke. The leaf spring was eventually modified to increase it's strength.
