Re: 1955 R-112

Do you still have information on where to get the motor mounts (front & rear) for the 55?


Kevin link is best , I did mine many years ago , got them from Outback Parts, Hard Poly , not convinced
they a better than factory original softer rubber ones, they likely won't deteriorate with oil and grease as
the original mounts did but, likely I will not be around to find out..

----------
Leaking oil sender Update :
Permatex Optimum gasket maker slathered on
a fair amount on the back side covering all the seams and wiped it
clean so its looks hi-potted :)
Oil sender sealed completely after about 100miles.
Now with the exception of the small normal oil weep from the engine vent the shop floor stays clean.
