Hi Guys
I need to choose an engine mount for my conversion. Any pros and cons of which type to go for? I understand height on install is an issue to get a good air seal to avoid overheating issues Thanks |

One issue to consider is the brake pressure regulator. It's been mentioned that cars with the later setup likely have to relocate the regulator farther toward the driver's side so it has proper clearance with the /6 mount. Looks like in the PET the change was made in the '74 model year after VIN 4742915751. Do all styles of the /6 mounts have this issue? Pretty sure I've read posts where the OEM style mount has the problem. Just looking, I'd guess the Bulkhead mount would also, but can't be sure.

Dan I have Boxster calipers, so they are sized for a mid engine car. I pulled the valve and put in a T to replace it. So I don't know if it hits or not. Clay |
