[Healeys] BN2 Rear Trans Mount

[Alan Seigrist]

Mirek -

All you need to do is compress them a bit to make sure it is not loose.
Having some give is good to have (will prevent bending up the cross
member!), the main thing is to keep the motor from leaping out of the car
on a instant stop.

Best,

Alan
