I haven't been following the previous emails on this subject but after
looking at the photo that was submitted with the recent email it looks like
the mount is made of welded aluminum?  Aluminum is not a good material for
this application.  If the mount is made of aluminum it should be scraped and
rebuild using chrome moly steel.

I am pretty sure it is steel painted silver Del.
The rear motor mount is bullet proof, over weight and over kill.
This is why one needs a little knowledge on Statics.

"...statics."  And dynamics. See the other thread (I should have given it
another subject name, like "More Murphy Motor Mount".  Sorry for the
confusion.

But you are right.  Except for the royal pain in the arse factor, maybe this
is a do-over.  Those vertical pieces at the firewall are not necessary I
think (from the available photos).  What function except to serve as the
load carriers for those horizontal beams?
