Re: Engine mounts
Gordon has new heavy duty engine mounts in stock - and they're really nice.
About $35 each and well worth it. You'll have to slightly enlarge the
mounting holes on both the body and engine brackets to accommodate the larger
stud size. I was able to change the mounts by lifting the engine a few
inches and removing the engine mount bracket (which you'll have to do anyway
to drill it) to reach under the engine to get at the engine mount nuts. Not
real easy but doable. The new mounts seemed to have a nonstandard wrench
size (at least in
my set) of 18 mm, if I remember correctly. However, I was able tighten all
the new nuts securely using another close wrench size. Everything lines up
nicely now and the engine is well cushioned on its new mounts.

Hi, I just replaced the motor mounts on Corky my red 67. I did not have to
drill out the holes for the new mounts, they were the correct size. I did not
need to remove the engine mount bracket. I did cut all the excess bolt length
off the lower bolts on the mount so it was a little less tortuous to tighten
up on the bottom.
