[TR] TR4 Engine Mount Question

[James Henningsen]

Thanks,
It looks like the frame has a bracket for the square or rectangualr unit. 
How would I tell if it is a widened TR3 frame?

Jim,

Not sure what the break point is but the early TR4s definitely used
the square motor mounts.  The frame for CT288L was a modified TR3
frame from the factory.  You might look at your frame up front and see
if it was a widened TR3 frame or a purpose built TR4 frame.  The
purpose built frame used the round mounts.
