While continuing my work towards the final phases of replacing the
main and engine wiring harnesses (beginning the last 30% IF
everything works as it should) and installing the G. Young rebuilt
carbs (Thanks, Grant !) I looked down at the motor mount and said to
myself, "Well, that don't look right!". The mount was actually
concave in the center!
Now, of course, I will have to replace the motor mount in the race to
get the car ready for a big meet on the 16th of May. My question
that is not in the '65 manual as far as I can tell in the rear mount
replacement instructions: Is there a difference in instructions to
replace the mount on an A/C car with the A/C belt pulley in the
way? Can it be a one man job? About how many hours for someone who
has never replaced one? I have a 1500 pound motorcycle floor lift
(in place of engine lift and tool J-7894) to use to support the engine.
ALSO, how do I go about and what do I look for in checking the front
mount? I could not find a reference in the Basics Manual.
Never an idle moment at the Corvaireum II
