MEP 002/003 Motor mounts

Picture is worth a 1000 words thank you. Now I see it.
So there are like metal cups glued to the rubber on each end looks like.
One side of this engages the center support #20
I think I could see a better way here.
It's an isolation mount so more work than I had been saying previously.
If #17 was designed as a cup on the rubber side it would not need glue to stay in place.

Ah, yes! When the rubber adhesion of #17 fails, #20 falls down until it hits #19 and the engine now sits crooked.
Still works and runs fine, just looks wrong because it's crooked.

until all #17s delaminate, and all #19s fall upon all #20s then it looks alrght, just 9/16 inch shorter

How does it sound when that happens? Should be metal bouncing around on metal right?

 

[NY Tom]

Need to get one of those in my hands. This sounds like a fun project to solve.

My 003 with 3 of the 4 bad didnt vibrate too bad. the spacer is rubber coated .

That shape is similar to the 80's model Ford radius arm bushings... Might be able to make that work if needed. I don't know the dimensions of the bushings off hand, i'll have to dig in the garage to see if i still have one somewhere.
