[Healeys] 3000 engine mounts

[richard mayor]

The 3000 - 100/6 engine mounts are handed -  they are marked either LH or RH.
There is a time period where the mounts were made with slotted holes so that
they could be used on either the right or the left hand side. I do not know
when these slotted versions were made, but they are very apparent to the eye.
Perhaps they were the solution to people not realizing the handed properties
of the mounts and installing them incorrectly. It is not readily apparent that
the /handed mounts are different.

It has been awhile since I looked into this so I don't recall all the details,
but there was a point in time when the right & left mount assembly was not
handed, then the later cars (as I recall) had handed (right & left) mount
assemblies. Even on the handed assemblies some of the component parts are
identical, not handed. Only part of the assembly is handed.


That really clears it up doesn't it!
