Having a hard time finding front and rear engine mounts for my 1946 ks7. Does anyone know a source for buying these?

The originals during the war were stacked canvas with springs on the bolts (Rubber was saved for the war effort) The rears were a fairly simple affair over the cross member. IHC used the similar mounts well into the Loadstar era. I have never checked to see if a more modern mount will work. If you could find some rubber stock you could cut some.

It's definitely possible I will have to make these.. just finding parts for these blue diamonds seem to be quite the challenge

In the process of getting my harmonic balancer rebuilt by Damperdoctors.com I found they also have a motor mount service. On their home page it's under the information section.
I also have a BD 269 and yes it's hard to find engine parts for these magnificent beasts. Depending what you need, I have some spare parts for my 1945 K7 (no "s") and it's BD 269. If you want
you can send me an email and we can continue the conversation.
I haven't use their motor mount service but, they seem to have a good reputation when it comes to rebuilding a balancer, quality work and a short turn around time.

Found that the green diamond motor mounts for the rear are the same as blue diamond. Restoration specialties had these! Thanks for the responses
