'70, 914-6 All stock
On the front engine mount, there is a shock mounting system, on the top of this there is a plate with a nut welded within, I am confused as to the orientation I could not find a drawing within the panels at AutoAtlanta, Can anyone provide a pointer? I need to understand the vertical and horizontal orientation, Thank you, CTC911CTC |

The rubber mount, the upper nut plate and the lower plate. Make sure that you have the correct length and pitch bolt for the mount as well. Attached image(s)

This is terrific,
My question is the top plate - does it sit with the ridges Front to Back or Left to Right. In your picture they are front to back. As pictured the ridges do not sit properly on top of the rubber, however, when left to right they seem to drop into place. Does anyone know if there is a proper orientation? Thank you, CTC911CTC QUOTE(Luke M @ Sep 18 2025, 05:17 AM) QUOTE(ctc911ctc @ Sep 17 2025, 03:10 PM) '70, 914-6 All stock On the front engine mount, there is a shock mounting system, on the top of this there is a plate with a nut welded within, I am confused as to the orientation I could not find a drawing within the panels at AutoAtlanta, Can anyone provide a pointer?

The 2 channels are what prevents the rubber from pulling through.. There should be 2 tabs that insert into aluminum block within the rubber mount.
maddog does not appear to bend tabs down like the factory part. The rounded ridges compress into rubber when tightened and when load is applied..note indent on PN on mount pictured..    Attached image(s)

Cary your car has a high strength bolt marked 10.9 for the this unusual application.
An 8.8 is not suitable The lower plate is attached to the mount with two cheesehead machine screws. If you don't have one, get a 16" drift pin to persuade the front mount into position. Enjoy holding the top plate down as you ratchet the bolt into it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)
