Default Re: Flywheel housing mounting

After Ford decided to use rubber absorber type mounts on front and rear for the 1932 cars, they added engine radius rods to hold the engine steady for the constant push or pull from the torque tube drive. The float-a-motor set up could use that as well but was never set up that way. The 1932 cars also had the K-member to help with frame structure. Ford knew that the Model A system had flaws but they usually lasted a good chunk of miles before problems started showing up. It wasn't perfect but it got the job done. I doubt if Henry would have ever figured so many Model As would still be around 90+ years later.
