<VV> Fw: 1964 Spyder powertrain install

[Jim Becker]

Colin,
I agree with Joel.  Look at my notes on the attached page.  Those are the
things that control, and the only things that have any effect on the engine
standing level side to side.

Replace the mounts.  The one bolt on the driver's side is hard to get to but
not impossible.  I used a torch on an old wrench to bend it just right to
reach it.

I bought new transmission mounts to use but they were difficult to get at
even with Clarks tool so I have run with the old mounts which appear to be
ok.
But the fabric strips on the left side are aligning about half an inch below
the left side rail as though the left side of engine needs to come up half
an inch.
My question is should I be looking to get both sides of fabric seals to
align flush or is the above situation something I can run with.
I would appreciate any comments from past experience of which I have none.
