74535, AFX solid motor mount
Posted by 98starGS, May-15-04 05:41 AM
i finally got the motor mount and i'm installin it today. i go to bolt everything back up and its not tall enough to line up with the bracket on the motor, so i tried to loosen the bolts holdin the mount to the subframe to give it some room so i could line it up with the bracket and then pull the motor down to the subframe but the bolts aren't long enough. did anyone else run into that or did they send me the wrong mount?? i mean its not that hard to install and i dont think i did anything stupid so whats up?

Did you even try to eye up the new mount with the original to verify that all mounting holes are in the correct place before doing the install?

Just my 0.02 on the first thing to do when swapping out a part.
