[Tigers] More random questions...

[Tom Parker]

Jeff,

The usual Ford mounts are 2220 / 2221 if memory serves, and they're "iffy".
Look back on the list posts, there was a U.S. manufacturer listed that MAY
have more accurate mounts. This was from last February, a post by A.C.Tynes:

"Does anybody have experience with Steele products engine mounts? I cross
referenced Ron's Ford part nums with Steele's catalog and came up with
20-0088-11 Rt and 20-0089-11 Left. $24.50 ea and made in USA."

The tread was interesting. I have not tried the Steele mounts;
changing engine mounts on a Tiger is not something someone does on a
whim. (which means mine are more or less o.k...)  But when the time
comes I will probably order a set from Steele. The problem I has with
the 2220 / 2221 mounts was the engine didn't sit straight in the bay
(yes I tried lifting / repositioning the engine), and the front
driveshaft u-joint attacked the driveshaft tunnel.
