Engine mounts 64

Post by caddy_67 »

Hi Bird Brothers,

I like to replace the engine mounts on my 64 Bird, when we took them off, was one mount with the threaded end in the middle

and the other was clearly off set
Image.
In the meanwhile I found out that 64 had a left and right mount, with off set threaded ends, or am I wrong?
A friend of mine happen to have 2 new mounts with the threaded ends in the middle can I use them or should go for the, assumably original off set type?

Thanks in advance!

The top picture is not correct for a 64.

The bottom pic appears to be the correct mount and yes there are right and left mounts. Very hard to find the correct mounts at local parts stores as I just went thru the frustration.

If you notice on the bottom pic there is a nipple on the mounting bolt side.

Good Luck

Thanks Fuz for your reply.
Just what I thought :(
I hoped I can use the mounts my friend have, because they're cheap and, because I'm located in The Netherlands, available in a short time.
I just ordered a left an right one at MAC's
