P-15 engine mounts

[insaneradio]

Evening Gentlemen,

I am needing to replace the engine mounts on my P-15. Seems what I find on E-Pay and the net speak of an upper and lower rubber mount. When I removed my engine mounts it seems all I had was an upper rubber mount with a steel sleeve. It bolted through the crossmemer and was secured with a big wahser and a nut. Is the mount a two piece unit--one upper and one lower rubber piece??

Thanks,

Dave

Thank-you very much Don.

Dave I believe there was a running change that eliminated the lower mount. 99% sure my late 48 production p15 only had uppers

That is good to hear Ed. I had been concerned that mine was incorrectly installed. Have any idea what brought about the change?? Being mine is a 47 P-15 I am probably going to install the bottoms unless they simply will not fit.

Nonetheless my uppers were in desperate need of replacement.

I am hoping having my flywheel resurfaced and my engine mounts replaced I can eliminate the chatter I had in first gear. I had noticed years ago when I replace my clutch that my flywheel had grooves in it. I just did not have the time then to replace it.

I also replace the front wheel cylinders. Had the drums turned and installed new shoes. I also replace the freeze plugs and am working on replacing the emerg brake drum. I am going to have to replace the rear seal on my tranny as well. Seems it started to leak when I first attempted to removed the emer brake drum. Once the seal was removed it was obvious it needed to be changed.

I am now taking the time to get the car 100%. I am looking forward to driving it and enjoying the fruits of my labors.

Thanks for your input Ed,

Dave

I believe you will find that your metal tube piece is too short to install the bottoms if you didn't originally have them.

Makes sense Ed. I should have the mounts delivered tomorrow. I will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Dave
