[Fot] Front Engine mounts

[Joe Alexander]

I wonder about anything that transfers great amounts of vibration to SU
bowls.

The torque reaction arm is a non contact stabilizer....at least until its
needed. We actually use one on both sides of the engine. I left it off once
and found out how well it actually worked. And it takes some stress off the
stock front mounts.

I think it can be adapted to a TR3 but would require modification. I can bring
some along, if I remember.....

Front Mounts:  Sean is contemplating a Companion Part to the rear mounts,
likely using 40 durometer as with the rear. The rears turned out well we
think. Next rear mount run will be available in October.

Sean will be bringing one of his new rear mounts and one sectioned in the
middle to show construction.

Chris is going to bring some of his Viton crank seal kits and his new caliper
brake seals.

Keith Niehaus is going to bring some of the new repair panels he is
developing....including that nasty piece that rots out at the leading edge of
the rear fenders of Tr4s and Tr6s.

A little show and tell to the benefit of our Triumph Community, hopefully.
