Bred45@aol.com Hi Maybe you can help me, I trying to locate all my engine mounts on a 1946 clipper model 2103, straight eight. thanksw
If you mean how many mounts and where, there is the single main mount in front which consists of the two sandwiched rubber pieces between the metal parts of the yoke as shown in the photos above. The remaining mounts are two at the transmission, one on either side which consist of a vulcanized square of rubber between two metal pieces which bolt to trans and mid frame crossmember.
In addition to the actual weight carrying mounts there is a stabilizer bar which is not a mount but is rather a rod with rubber donuts at each end which bolts between a frame mount and another toward the rear end of the transmission or overdrive case. This is to control the engine from trying to move fore and aft under load. Overdrive equipped senior models also have a coil spring affair filled with vulcanized rubber which goes between the OD case bottom and a mount on the frame. On the 356 engine only, there are usually a pair of small front stabilizers, one on either side of engine which bolt between the side of block and front crossmember. Those are to help keep rotational torque of the big engine under control.
As Kev said, Steele has the front pieces and the donuts for the stabilizer bar. They may still offer vulcanizing service for the others. On the transmission side pieces you might also check with Kanter. A few years ago they had repro transmission mounts made for some models and if they still have any a pair of new repros may be cheaper and probably with less downtime than having your old ones sent back and revulcanized.
