I have some of the rubber motor mounts that go between the block and the engine bar. All three of them have a sortof wedge shape to them. Is this normal? If so, how is the mount supposed to bolt to the metal braket that bolts to the block? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

There are no stupid questions...

Only stupid answers.


If you are talking about the side shifter engine bar, you will have twm metal "L" brackets that are bolted horizontal on the front of the engine case...

The rubber mount has a threaded rod sticking out of both ends.

One bolts to the "L" bracket, the other bolts to the engine bar.

Look on Pelicans site for a pic.

those are the rubber mounts that I have. But they seem to have a wedge shape to them, one side is thicker than the other. I am wondering if there is an orientationwhen they are placed on the L braket between the motor bar. Is this wedge shape like this because it took a set from being on the motor?

Not supposed to be wedge shaped.

Buy new ones...they are a real drag to replace...gotta take the motor out, gotta take off the front fan hosing...

Do it once, they should be good for another 30 years.

I replaced mine with the engine in place and fan housing on. Just had to support the engine and take off the engine bar. (not even all the way, just one side if I remember right)

Still a pain though, I don't think I'd use used ones.

If the wedge is very pronounced (like 30 degrees or so), you may have Bus mounts. If so, find a Bus guy to use them--you need the 914 version.

Good point Dave.
Mine are new enough to still have that powdery stuff on them. I don't use them. Let me know. Yup I did it like Bondo jack under the motor pull the bar down. I think it is easier than adjusting valves.

I have one that is ok( no wedge shape) but it is on the crusty side.The three that are wedge shaped look in better shape than the good one but for some reason they have the stinkin wedge shape goin on.

You DO NOT have to remove either the motor or the fan shroud to replace either the mounts or the brackets. The Cap'n
