Re: IML: Motor Mounts

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for clearing this up.

Can you briefly explain what makes the non-standard replacement 
different? I commented from memory about the site when I bought mounts 
for my '63, and I expect to deal with this again. I plan to keep my 
cars, and the '65s engine mounts were replaced over 20 years ago now. I 
don't drive that car much, and they are not currently broken, but I 
expect that might happen again at some point. It had a broken mount 
when it was 10 years old, I had new ones installed at the local 
Chrysler dealer, and they broke again about five years later. By then 
the only place selling them was Mitchell and they cost a bundle. Those 
are the ones currently in the car now. I kept the old ones since I was 
told they might be rebuildable.

Thanks for any information that you can share.

Paul W.

No, it's the same. Many parts books erroneously classify the '66 motor 
mounts with '67 and later. Because of this and much other 
misinformation (some on the Club website long ago), I created a webpage 
for these motor mounts:

Note that the non-standard replacement I had made (and those by 
Imperial Services) does not have metal -to-metal contact and works as 
well as the original Floating Power design.
