[TR] TR4A Engine Mounts - Which One

[Tony Drews]

I don't know about correctness, but the round ones seem to last better 
than the rectangular ones.  I got a set of heavy duty round mounts from 
Revington years ago and they're still going strong. I'd kill the regular 
ones in a couple of year (of racing).  The Tilton clutch I started out 
with didn't help matters much.

Cheers, Tony DRews
