while trying to get the brakes working on my 30 pickup project l noticed the cross over shaft is rubbing on the drive line about where the radius rods are bolted. how much clearance should there be between the cross over shaft and the drive line? I also found that I have a strange front motor mount nothing like the standard 3 spring deal. this has a thick rubber piece with two metal washer like pieces under the yoke and another rubber piece under the frame cross member. i'm wondering if this strange mount is holding the front of the engine higher causing the driveline to be lower and rubbing the cross over. any thoughts on this.
