Subject: Re: shaving the engine mounts?
Mick,
I'm usually a bit too quick to jump on the grinder too - infact I was
tempted to just whip out the mount and grind it back straight away.
I think I get what you're saying. From my thinking, I would have thought
there would be little to no movement between engine mount and compressor
housing. As the mount is bolted to the block and the rubber is between
the
mount and front X member - which is where the movement will come into
play?
cheers,
Adam
