Al Peterson Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 Any tips or tricks for installing upper motor mounts on a 1947 WC? I ordered and received new ones(complete sets) and they are considerably bigger than the old ones. I understand there may be some compression from weight but wow. The lower units go right in but the uppers are proving to be a bear. Any help is greatly appreciated. Al Quote
Young Ed Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 Are the holes rusty? Is there some extra rubber on the new mount? Sometimes a little filing is needed. Quote
Al Peterson Posted June 17, 2020 Author Report Posted June 17, 2020 Ed, Sorry for the delay in responding, a bit crazy around here lately. No, the metal brackets are in excellent shape. It's the new motor mounts. They are roughly 1/4 taller and the rubber portion that slides in the rubber is a larger diameter than the OE. I double checked the application from where I bought it and they claim the part number fits from 1939 ish to 1950's. I ended up only replacing the bottoms and left the tops for another day. Al Quote
Young Ed Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 How much larger? I would think it's small and a quick file would take care of it. You can put a bolt through the center and spin it in a drill for a home brew lathe 1 Quote
