Greetings all!

I have rebuilt the wiper motor on my TR3 and refinished the paint=20
on the motor mounting bracket. As you many know, the bracket has=20
three holes in it, into which rubber mounts are installed. The Moss=20
illustration of these three mounts is at =20

Has anyone installed this kit, replacing the old, corroded rubber=20
mounts? I got my old ones out easily enough but can't seem to=20
come up with a way to install the new ones. The diameter of the=20
rubber mount bushings vs. the diameter of the three holes gotta=20
make you wonder how they get installed..... I've even tried dunking=20
the rubber bushings in boiling water but no success.=20

Ideas? Thoughts? Thanks!!
