Found this two solid mounts in the treasure pile.
Never seen a pair.

Canadian rear motor mounts. The Canadian design is often considered stronger than the US design. It's a boxier shape compared to the US C-shape. It doesn't have the splits between the mounting bolts on each side.

I just installed a set like that in my Roadster to replace a badly cracked pair. They seem really well made compared to the later style.

A lot of people employ Henry ford was cheap but I kind of disagree and a case in point is these motor mounts why did Henry make heavier duty motor mounts for the Canadian models that cost more money to make those!!!
