I replaced my front motor mount springs and flat spring steel plate on my 29 and there is a 1/8" space between the engine mount and flat spring plate. I have tried 2 different sets of springs and 2 different plates. This does not seem correct it seems as if the flat spring steel piece the leather washer and bottom of mount should be tight to each other. I looks like the spring plate that I removed may have a little more arch to it I do not think enough to take up the space. Any information would be appreciated,
Thanks Ed
