Hi:
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 My 1966 TR4A=C2=A0 had round motor mounts that i am replacing=
 with rectangular mounts.
the new mounts=C2=A0 have a metal u-shaped cradle that covers 3 sides .=C2=
=A0 =C2=A0the ends are open rubber.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 the remaining side is expo=
sed rubber=C2=A0 with a raised but embeded metal bar covered by=C2=A0 the r=
ubber near the surface and holding the bolt.
which side goes up ?=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0the moss and rimmer parts books sho=
w the the open rubber side with the "lump" facing up towards the engine.=C2=
=A0 =C2=A0but a photo from moss shows the the opposite: the steel of the cr=
adle contacts at the engine and the open/rubber side sits on the frame.=C2=
=A0

given the above , the two mounting holes in the frame , and the off center =
bolt locations , i figure there are eight ways install=C2=A0 these mounts ?=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0even that ignores the washers.
please help.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 fred
