[CabrioletDon]

Hi, Razkid, I recently had exactly the same issue on my '30 Cabriolet...after replacing the incorrect front cross member (it had been replaced, poorly, before I got the car) I reinstalled the front motor mount and the front of the engine was 1/4" or so too high. There is an excellent thread on here including an entry from Marco that shows an original drawing and spring dimensions--one of the key areas I could tell was wrong in my setup was that the leather washer should be close, but not touching the mount underneath it. Turns out the springs (both the one under the cross member and the two on top) were too long and too stiff. I ordered a new, correct set from Steve at Bert's Model A, installed them, and it resolved the problem completely. Make sure if your friend makes this switch to loosen the top 2 rear motor mount bolts and remove the bottom two so the front of the engine can pivot.
