'60 Motor Mounts

[Bob Schmitt <bsbrbank@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob -

Jeff gave good advice.  Also check my motor mount specialty page:

You can get an emergency repair by having the mounts "pinned" - a place
in Burbank put bolts through both of mine & I still have one in place
3-4 years later - getting close to finishing up my adapter project.  I
may very soon also have spare cores which can be rebuilt.
