[Healeys] Motor mounts

[Rich Chrysler]

The period of time when the engine mounting holes to the engine were slotted
diagonally was on the earlier Longbridge built BN4. Therefore they were not
handed and could be mounted on either side and had the same part number.
Later they decided to make the mounting holes round instead of slotted, and
to achieve the necessary degree of engine tilt back, they were now
specifically handed and were clearly stamped L/H and R/H on the vertical
face between upper and lower holes.

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.

Is there really any difference between the right and left hand engine mounts
or are my eyes going bad?
