Front motor mount question
Gentlemen: Has anyone seen an engine in the car with the front motor mount flange (part above the dimpled plate) that does not completely touch the plate underneath?? My late '31 Truck has the flange resting on this dimpled plate, and all seems to be as it should. My second project has all of the correct standard parts (as far as I know), but the flange is a bit above the dimpled plate. The engine would NOT go down even with no front support, as well as the rear motor mounts very much loosened. Has anyone seen this, and should I be concerned?? The rest of this project is sterling, but need to ask. Thank You for reading this far!

Re: Front motor mount question
Some of the reproduction upper springs are too long, in fact many have been for a long time. That is the probable cause for the yolk riding above the spring plate. Go to Marco's website for a good explanation.

Re: Front motor mount question
There was a recent thread on the upper springs. I'm pretty sure the ones that I had originally installed were from Brattons. Based on that thread, I just purchased a set from Berts and swapped them last night. The ones from Berts are clearly different. The ones I bought earlier where definately stronger springs and had coil bind at ~1.125". The Berts ones didn't coil bind until about .875"
