Replacing motor and transmission mounts in a original 1973 1.7. Any suggestion on the type and where to purchase? Thanks,

For a '73-'76, engine mount 039 199 231 is common and available from many sources.
There are two transmission mount choices: 914 375 025 00 is the 4-cyl mount and has some voids in the rubber to allow some movement. This is also the engine mount for '70-'72. 914 375 026 00 is the 6-cyl mount and is solid rubber. This mount is considered a stiffer "sport" version when used on 4-cyl cars. Note regarding use of modified 911 engine mounts as 914 transmission mounts: When modified to be used as 914 transmission mounts, 911 engine mounts require the mounting holes in the ears to be filed into an oval shape or re-drilled, do not have the proper anti-rotation pins on the center sleeve, are close but not quite the same thickness, are not the original stiffness (the engine mounts are stiffer), and do not have the same appearance as original 914 transmission mounts, which can be an aesthetic issue in a fully-restored vehicle. However, modified 911 engine mounts were certainly a functional substitute until proper 914 transmission mounts were finally made available again from URO and Porsche OEM.
