<VV> Question : Different engine mounts for 1967 Monza 140?

[J. R. Read]

I did not understand your diagrams, but if your LM engine mount (the rubber 
portion) is flat or depressed looking in the center, it has failed and the 
only thing holding the rear of the engine in the car is a 90degree metal 
angle (or is that angel... humor?) piece.  The center of the rubber section 
should be pointing UP.

New ones are available at the regular Vair Vendors.

Later, JR
