Fw: <VV> Jeff Brekke's motor mount

[James Davis]

Be advised we have had three engine mounts in Ultra Vans break last 
year.  It was not the rubber that failed but the metal separated next to 
the studs.  Mine was a six month old Steel rebuild from Clark's.  Clark's 
replaced the broken engine mount without charge.  Several of us have cabled 
the engine to the chassis just incase another mount breaks.  It is a 
wonderful sound when the rear of the engine hits the ground at 65 mph. Yes, 
I have a new Brekke mount installed in everything but the FC's.  Once is 
enough.
