[Tigers] Motor Mounts

This is what I have learned from the motor mount discussion and the purchase
of 2 sets.
 
Federal Mogel Precision or Moog mounts are not consistent thickness of rubber
from side to side.   right was 1" thick and  left was 1.25" thick and the
motor did not sit evenly.
 
The supplemental CAT notes indicated the TRW part numbers to be 82220 left and
82221 right are no longer available that I could find.
 
The discussion of using the Anchor mounts , which can be sourced locally from
Advanced, are made in the USA and are part numbers 2220 left and 2221 right. 
Both were 1.25" thick from side to side.  Now the motor sits evenly.
 
It has also been recommended by 2 very knowledgeable list members that 5/16"
bolts, nuts and washers should be installed on 'either" side of the center
bolt on the mount as the rubber does not seem to hold up and will sage within
a short time.
 
Now that I have written this, is there some unwritten rule about listing
manufacture's and part numbers to protect our very few and dedicated sunbeam
suppliers - British Victoria excluded as I do not recall seeing this very
often?
 
I continue to learn 'daily' from your knowledge and appreciate the responses.
