Kiwi-boy Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Im into the fun job of changing the engine mounts & rubber washers, The hot side does not look right to me, The wash sits proud, not mating on the rubber -thought I should grind some metal down... Then looking at my photo before disassembled, I see it was like that from the factory So maybe its a ‘design feature’ I don’t understand ?! Any thoughts please, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution CarBuff Posted January 20 Solution Report Share Posted January 20 The LF mount on our '88 TE has looked like your second pic for many years, no issues. Now, if you had an S1 or S2 without rear upper control arms, I'd worry. <<DUCKS>> Quote Atwell Haines '88 Esprit Succasunna, NJ USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdoom Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 It's the gapped hot side which looks right to me. The separation from the mount outer casing enables movement of the bolt carried in the bushed rubber internal structure, providing compliance one must have in a non-solid attachment. Correct?
