Posted by: dmenche914 May 9 2004, 10:41 PM

With my motor out, I discovered some lurking rust, under some under coating, and some prior brazed on rust patches.

Looks like the battery acid got past the engine shelf, and went into the motor mount part.

I do not see this part listed in Pelican, or AA catalogs, the metal motor mount that retains the rubber mount. This is welded on to the chassis.

Anyone know of a fabricator of this part? or any luck in patching it? It appears that only the engine shelf, and a patch on the inner fender well (below battery), and next to the shelf is all that is needed other than the big problem which is the motor mount.

any experience or advice on this repair is appreciated.

Anyone local (redwood city) that wants to take a look, let me know, since no engine, it is kind of hard to move the car.
thanks dave

Try restoration design in the vendors section

thanks dave
