I would like to recommend that everyone who is using a bed mount to add
a heat reflector between the rubber motor mounts and the exhaust to
protect the rubber from the high temps.  I have noticed the the exhaust
side motor mount is usually broke on '86 and later RX7's, so this is a
definite possible problem as the recent posts on this subject suggest.

True,  I used a 'low tech' approach and safety wired some aluminum foil
around the mount closest to the exhaust.  Same story on coolant lines near
the exhaust.  Does the job just fine.
