Thanks for all the replies,
I picked up some mounts from NAPA and the hardware I need to modify the mount.
I cut the studs to the correct length and went to check the fit on the K frame as Fastmark mentioned above, and the mounts do not fit the K frame.
The mounts are resting on the bolts and not flat on the K frame.
the bolt holes and nut centerline are about 1" off the flat surface as shown in the picture.

On my 35 year old Moogs, the centerline is less then 3/4" off the flat surface as shown in this picture.

I can't believe these stores are selling this crap as OEM replacement parts.
Either I cut the nuts off and reweld them correctly or modify my 35 year old Moogs.
This motor mount crap has set me back over one month already.
I think if someone was to Re-Pop these mounts correctly, they could make a small fortune

Thanks for the pics. This might be the way to go.
I see you assembled them, then drilled thru the mount and the bracket.
Probably the easiest and cheapest.


Yes

If you decide to buy from your local jobbers

Take them out of the box first before walking out

Look at where the nut is welded to the mount etc

I must have had ten in my hand before picking two that I was happy with from different jobbers

Then Ace Hardware for that countersunk grade 8 bolt etc.

So far so good


Thanks bee1971, I too looked at about 10 different mounts and only 2 of the 10 were useable.
I thought I would share some pics of my findings.
The first two pics are the good ones from O'Reilys.
they are dull looking with a bent one piece steel bracket and crudely welded nut.
I also noticed the good ones were made in Korea as shown on the box and the mount itself.

The ones that won't work are nice and shiney and the bracket appears to be made from 3 pieces welded together
with the nut crimped instead of welded. The nut is not located in the correct position and the engine will be resting
on the long mounting bolt in the k frame and not resting on the mount itself. These mounts were made in China.

bee1971, I'm assuming you countersunk the holes with an 82deg bit to get the screw to sit flush?
