Since the engine in my 1965 TR4A is out being rebuilt, it seemed like a good time to replace the front engine mounts. ?Access to the mounting nuts is all but impossible. ?They bolt to the frame nearly obscured by front suspension.?It's a beautiful RATCO frame I installed ten years ago. ?Might be different than a stock frame in this area.
Sockets are impossible. ?Dismantling the front suspension would take a lot of time and energy, and may not help.It might be possible to access these (Nyloc) nuts with a seriously modified end wrench, probably with busted knuckles?and lots of cursing involved. ?
Modifying the RATCO frame would be a sacrilege! Not gonna happen!
Has anyone dealt with this? ?Any suggestions? ?Are you reading this, Tony?I might have to retain the old motor mounts.TIA.

If I'm the "Tony" you're mentioning...? Round style mounts on a stock
frame I've not had that issue getting to the frame side of the mount,
sorry.? Certainly it's easier to get to with the engine out!

A) grease them with white grease or some such to encourage them to move and let them become a magnet for all the dirt and corruption that follows.
2) leave them dry so they stay clean until they rust and no longer move.
Is there a 3D option?
Cheers,

A dry molybdenum spray may the the trick.? Something like Grainger PN 6KHF6
It drys so it won't catch grit and stuff and will add a slick, protective coat.

BTW, It smells funky until it drys so use it out doors away from the wife.

Listers:
I recently came across a really nice '58 overdrive TR3A which appeared solid
in every respect until I opened the spare tire cover - see pic. The whole
compartment was full of mouse nests (and dead mice) - I had cleared some
before I decided a picture might be indicated. The spare tire floor is
roached.
This is a car I would like to get running and then turn over to someone on
this or another list. I don't want to spend a lot on it, but then again I
am not about to take shortcuts on a car which is otherwise rust-free.
By chance, does anyone have a spare tire pan, either new or in good used
condition?
As an aside, I was so excited to get the car running, only to find the
clutch is not working. I am guessing a broken taper pin. As my wife always
reminds me - this is the joy of owning a Triumph. Sure...
