Front motor mount, somethings not quite right.
As I have become more familiar with the Model A, I realized that my motor mount was missing a lot of its components. All it has is the yoke and some remains of some kind of a bushing. This has left the motor mount resting on the cross member leaving about 1/4" between the crankshaft and the cross member. I ordered a spring set from Snyders but find that it does not fit on the yoke. The yoke stud has a much larger diameter so the auxiliary spring, coil spring, brass bushing and castle nut will not fit onto the yoke. Were there any variations from year to year or is this an off sized repro?
Attached are a couple pictures, the bottom of the mount has a rubber cup on the stud and you can see what remained of the bushing material protruding through the mounting hole. The nut does not have any pressure on it, it is merely holding the rubber cup in place. I imagine this is just the previous owners make shift attempt on a mount? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
