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
