Hi:
My 1966 TR4A had round motor mounts that i am replacing with rectangular mounts.
the new mounts have a metal u-shaped cradle that covers 3 sides . the ends are open rubber. the remaining side is exposed rubber with a raised but embeded metal bar covered by the rubber near the surface and holding the bolt.
which side goes up ? the moss and rimmer parts books show the the open rubber side with the "lump" facing up towards the engine. but a photo from moss shows the the opposite: the steel of the cradle contacts at the engine and the open/rubber side sits on the frame.
given the above , the two mounting holes in the frame , and the off center bolt locations , i figure there are eight ways install these mounts ? even that ignores the washers.
please help. fred
