Joe, I had never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, the
TR-2 and I believe the very early TR-3's, used a rear motor mount very
similar to the later cars, except that it had a small 'L' shaped bracket on
either side. I always wondered what they were for. I think you may have
just let me in on a secret!

Subject: Rear Mount
I fabricated two "L" shaped brackets that limit the side motion of the
bonded
rubber in the mount and then packed the rubber opening with more rubber for
additional vertical support.
I also removed the overdrive unit...which makes a big difference, but no
more
failures under racing conditions.
