[Mgs] mgb engine mounting

[mgbob at juno.com]

Hi Paul,
   Thanks for the measurements.
   I just took another look at mine.   It might restrain the engine if the
accelleration were parallel to the ground, but there is very little overlap
for the tab to hook on the bracket if there were vertical forces involved.

More than 1/8" thick, mine measures 0.175".  It goes behind the engine mount
bracket (not between the mount and the bracket which would upset the
alignment), and the tab hits the chassis bracket if the engine moves
forward, not the rubber - http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/images/mount12.jpg
