I have two sets of motor mounts. One pair of the locking type and another pair of the non locking type. Neither pair seems to have enough spread to line up with the mounting holes on the frame bosses. Also, the locking pair, which is supposed to be the correct pair for my car, the ears are so far apart that there is a 3/8 inch gap front to rear over the boss.

Any idea what is going on here? Cheap motor mounts? One pair is from India, the other from China, but I got both sets at reputable corvette parts suppliers. The old ones fell to pieces in my hands when I pulled the engine and I chucked them in the trash so I have nothing for comparison.


Thanks

71roadster,

There is a thread about this a couple of months back. Are they ANCHOR brand?

I had the same problem, and ended up purchasing a set from GM. Cost a lot, but the mounts are exactly the same as the originals. I think the supplier sent the vendor the incorrect mounts.

Got some for a big block from ADVANCE AUTO (made in India) and they fit perfect.

I bought Energy Suspension gold anodized and they were too tight to fight down. So i just hit each inner side with a grinder. I just figured that the coating added a few thousants.

What did Summit tell you about which part number to buy and what's the price these days?

I have the energy suspension cad plated ones too, they weren't wide enough so I shimmed them from the block side. Works fine.
