Heater Blower Motor Mounting, Mine seems to be constant ground due to mounting... Options

[ptravnic]

Hi all,

I have a 72 which does not have the nice U shaped blower motor mount in the engine compartment that the later years have. I'm operating under the impression that this bracket is the early stock mount for the motor assembly:


However, since the ground is supposed to be intermittent (actuates when the red cockpit lever is pulled up all the way) I have the problem where, because the above pictured mount grounds the entire assembly, I'm always grounded causing the blower to start up as soon as I turn on the ignition.

I've tested my ground/red lever as the actuator when the motor assembly is not mounted (thus not automatically grounded) and it works like its supposed to - lever goes up and the motor turns on.

Is there a way to separate the actual motor from the assembly so that it is not grounded when mounted? Maybe the rubber piece in the first pic goes somewhere that I'm obviously missing?


Is there another way to mount the motor assembly that I just don't know of? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Thanks in advance!
