These are pics of my motor mount.

It is not a 'positive' mount, but I'm positive I can make it a positive mount by doing one of two things:

1st - I could install a longer bolt through the center bolt (7/16 course) with 1.5" - 2" of threads and then install a locknut and washer through the threaded hole in the mount or

2nd - ream the threaded 7/16 hole in the mount and use a 2" bolt and locknut through the 7/16 hole.

Any suggestions?

Tom,
You were correct about the rear mount(s). I contacted my local (most local) T5 rebuilder and he advised to use the rear trans mount and lose the bellhousing mounts. He said that, if I used the bellousing mounts and tailshaft mount, at best I would break the ears off from the trans, need a case, and still be able to drive it home. Repeat - at best. Worst would be needing a wrecker and another transmission.

If at first you don't succeed,
then read the directions and try again.
