I always use new locking nuts and thick washers for this location and have
never had a loose one!

Subject: [Fot] TR3 transmission mount cross piece

Last night during routine car prep I noticed 3 of the 4 bolts that secure
the cross piece (the bracket between the rear mount and frame) were missing
and the court was loose. This is the second time in a year this has
happened. 

Does anyone else find this happening in their TR3-6?  Any ideas why these
particular bolts back them selves out?

Thanks.

The fine thread nuts for the four transmission cross member bolts are
welded to the underside of the small frame brackets (on the TR3-4).  You
could use longer bolts and run a jam nut up against them.  Also check for
cracks in the cross member.
