Guys,

Finally got around to getting the old motor/trans mounts out and new one
back in...on this '59 TR3A I've got going in my garage...

When I pulled the old (and very hosed up...) engine mounts out, some shims
fell out with them.  they were fitted between the mount and the engine
plate...two per side.  I see no reference to these things anywhere in my
documentation. I just don't have any idea what these guys are, or why
they're there.  Now's the time for somebody to tell me, as I can easily go
either way (put 'em back or leave 'em out) on this one.

so...before I button all this back up:

a. what are these shims?
b. whats' their function?
c. are they factory?
d. do I need to put them back in?

Again, the car's owner and I thank you in advance...and I personally
appreciate all the help I've realized from this list - great resource...

Cheers
Thom Kuby
