Gary,
The "rubber-to-crankcase" metal brackets for 3000 and 3000 Mk. II BN7s and
BT7s are handed (part numbers AEC889 for the right side and AEC890 for the
left side).
I believe the holes for mounting to the engine block are round.
For BN7 and BT7, at least, the brackets that attach to the frame are not
handed.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Motor mounts - RH/LH?
According to the parts book, the only part that is handed is the bracket
that bolts to the engine. The parts were bead blasted & closely examined
recently before being repainted. They are still on the work bench & I can
assure you that there is no RH/LH stamping on the two brackets. Here are a
few
questions I have:
1. I have been told that the holes in the handed brackets are round, not
rectangular with rounded ends like mine. Is this true or are the holes in
the handed brackets also rectangular with rounded ends?
2. I have been told that the earlier 6 cylinder cars had motor mounts
that were not handed, like mine. Is this true? I don't have access to an
earlier parts book.
"elongated holes are adjustable and can be used on either side. Used on
early 6 cyl cars BN4 and BN6. When installing this type of bracket to the
engine, once the four 3/8" screws and washers are installed, by hand push
the
top of the bracket toward the front of the engine as far as it will go and
hold it there whe the screws are tightened."
3. Does anyone have a set of handed brackets they will sell me? I only need
the two handed parts.
Thanks,
Gary Hodson

yes the holes are rectangles with rounded corners, if memory serves
correct the LH and RH can not be seen when they are fitted to the engine, I
see
to think it was stamped on the side of the angled bit that faces the
engine.
I think the larger part that bolts to the frame is not handed, might be
completely wrong thou!
cheers Andy
