Hi, everyone, I'm looking for some advice regarding the transmission mount on our car. I have the interior out to replace the aluminum floor plates with plywood, as original, and install the new seats.

The 1st photo is the transmission mount as installed. I have no history of the car, so I don't know when or by whom the T9 conversion was done. The second photo is of a standard Morgan transmission mount. It is obvious that the fore and aft angles on the chassis are too closely spaced to use the standard mount, so the installer cobbled together what I have to work with.

I'm going to have a mount fabricated in sort of a "π" shape to fit the angle supports, so that the bolts will not go through the floor panel and horizontal leg of the angle.

That said, I have a couple questions:

1. What is the standard spacing between the transmission mount angles? (Ours is 3".)
2. Does the standard mount fit in between the angles or does it straddle them and bear on the horizontal legs?

I have supported the transmission, removed the mount, and found that nothing is welded, just held together by the two vertical bolts...
