The Ford Barn

When I got my 29 coupe it had rear FAMs, I have driven the car this way for five years. The tabs on the pans that go between the engine and frame have broken off and I have had to repair cracks in the radiator inlet nozzle, I believe this caused by movement between the frame and the engine allowed by the FAM. I just replaced the FAM with the original motor mounts and new rubber pads and my first impression is the car feels much more solid and I noticed no increase in vibration. I can't see that the FAM made any improvement over the original mounts.
