[Healeys] Questions on BN2 Engine

[Bob Spidell]

Thanks, Alan. 

I found a photo of our mounts (was working from memory) and they look kind of like a cross between the Moss picture and the 3000s' setup. The difference is the 100's mounts to the front engine plate whereas the 3000's mount to the block. The rubber parts are the same part number. Looks like our parts are correct (not likely anyone would have changed out the motor mounts, unless they broke). 

I assume the mounts are painted engine color--that correct? 

We've found a couple other differences in our car--a late BN2--from the shop manual and the Moss catalog; like, the main bearings don't use castellated nuts with cotters.

I think the difference is the earlier mounts use BSF studs and the 
later ones UNF. I believe the later BMC mounts oficially superscede 
the earlier Austin ones. I know where you can get the BSF ones...
