BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Certainly later type as it has split steering column mount brackets welded to the turrets. Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few somewhere. There was also a bigger version for the original box shaped gearbox mount. - No use today of course - just fill the mount with polyurethane siko-snot.

foster461 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Thanks for the offer Pete, yes I would if you could find 4. Stuart. There were no engine mount steady brackets on my car and I was surprised to find that you can still get them new from the usual sources. Part number 106428. Around $8 each.

stuart Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 They do stop distortion of the mounting in hard use, too much distortion continually will destroy the mount quicker than normal. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
