Default Rear Engine Mount?

1946 Super Deluxe

I’m trying to figure out if the rubber backed engine/transmission support assembly should be bolted down to the frame bracket with the pan head bolts that hold the saddle (?) to the bracket OR should it just rest on top of it.

When i took it apart (see photo), it was just resting on top of the saddle, but the Green Book diagram looks like it should be bolted down (even though the Green Book doesn’t show this saddle between the bracket and support assembly). The new support assembly I have has holes for bolts (though there is a thin layer of rubber covering them), so it seems like they are intended to have the bolts go through. It makes sense that you wouldn’t want the support to just bounce around, but it’s odd that it wasn’t bolted down - maybe somebody put it together wrong somewhere along the line.

Anyway, I would appreciate any advice

Thanks,
Mark Bidwell
