<p>For the rear mount, I've added some side bracing to take the side
to side force off of the mount. With the stock mount you can do
this with angle iron that goes on the side of the mount and bolts
to the trans mount bolt. What I did is to drill holes through the
chassis mount plate, weld little pipes to them and have the trans
mount bolt extend through the chassis plate. The bolt / pipe
takes the side force and the mount itself just has to handle the
twisting motion. I have a nut at the very bottom, but it's not
tight against the chassis plate (it's a locking nut so it doesn't
fall off).</p>

Thanks Charly. I sure looks like the one I have but I will order
6. Two for each day of the Historics... And yes, I will order a
new rear mount as well.<br>

You should also check the rear mount. <br>

<br>
I've got an issue...lots of issues, but this refers to my TR4.
<br>
<br>
Raced in my first event of the year this past weekend at the
Spokane <br>
Festival of Speed (SOVREN) <br>
<br>
Car did well but in my third session, going down the back
straight, over <br>
a couple bumps, my throttle went wide open 'on its own'. Once
back in <br>
the paddock, we found that both front engine mounts had failed
and the <br>
engine dropped below the mount on the carburetor side, forcing
the <br>
throttle to its maximum position. <br>
<br>
These were brand new mounts as one failed at our Fall Finale,
last <br>
September in Seattle. Also, these two events are the only
events I have <br>
run my 'spare' motor which I picked up in CA last year. Engine
seems to <br>
do well but the combination of its torque, combined with the
quality of <br>
the mounts, is very frustrating. I tried to take a photo of
how it <br>
currently sits, but couldn't focus well enough. I am running
the round <br>
mounts, "Engine Mount Uprated TR4 TR4A (SKU 130985)" from a
PNW <br>
supplier. Three mounts in two events is not a good pattern. <br>
<br>
Any thoughts or alternatives is greatly appreciated. <br>
