I didn't look it up, but if they are Canadian motor mounts in good shape I highly recommend one of you guys jump on them. The Canadian variety are vastly superior to the American ones if you're not building a points car. I've installed a couple pairs and they really are better because they are built stronger and don't sag.

According to the JS they are a forging, not a casting, and changed to the pressed steel mounts in late 1930.

I've got an Australian JS from a few years ago. Of the sets I have, the majority are forged, and I have two sets of pressed steel. These are of A's my dad picked up in the sixties, and most were 28-29 cars. He got a few 30s, which would be where the pressed ones came from. As no 31's were brought into or sold in Australia, they cannot be off them.
