The springs that were in the front motor mount kit from Bratton's will not work at least for me,too stiff and would not compress enough to even get the nut on the bottom to start.Someone mentioned Bert's knew what was going on with this and had the correct springs.I figured like everything else it would be the same springs but they were not,slightly shorter and wire diameter slightly smaller,they said that they were closest to Ford blueprint and they worked great.Everything I have gotten from Bert's has been good either new parts or used original.
