Re: Passenger side mount info.

[Gary Huff <scirocco86@home.com>]

Yes, because it's an A1 chassis car with a 16v motor. Otherwise, the
motor will sage to the passenger side... I believe even with the 16v
passenger side mount you can still use the poly insert because the
airgaps and all are the same, just a different offset in the hole where
the bolt goes through. It's a little lower than center. So get yourself
a 16v mount pressed into the 8v bracket. The brackets are the same, mine
came off a JH motor.
