*background*
Buiding up a '79 TC3 originially equipped with a 1.7 (no drivetrain present when I purchased it) converting it to a 2.2
*problem*
Pass side engine mount is a totally different animal does not have the E-W thrubolt alignment nor the pair of 13 mm holddown bolts. Instead has a N-S thrubolt going thru a pair of ears to hold the mount in place.
*questions*
Was the 1.7 and the 2.2 avail at the same time in the changeover production year? Since the tabs are built into the frame not really comfortable with chopping them out unless its a last resort. Has any one expereinced this before?
Thanx in advance ;p
