Projects Timm builds a model A

Will the full diameter of the rubber be supported by the frame mount?

 

Yup. The side gussets fold down about half way threw the biscuit if that helps picture it.

OK! I just wasn't seeing it. Should have known you would have it covered. Good work!

 

Measured 5 zillion times, tossed a few apparently strong enough tacks and sat the engine down! The biscuits squished just enough that the exhaust manifold hits the steering column. But just by a hair. I’m going to grab some thick fender washers to shim it back up and see where we sit.

engine is currently sitting on the mounts with the hoist attached with a slightly slack chain just in case. It’s been a couple hours and it hasn’t moved at all but I figure better safe than sorry and I’m gonna have to lift it to shim it anyways. plenty of steering box and exhaust room

 

Aren't those ford biscuits supposed to have cups around the bottom of the upper biscuit, to keep them from squeezing out??? Which also act like a washer/shim under them?

Some are like that. Some just have a metal band around them. These have like a pyramid shape on the top, maybe cone is a better word? Anyhow looks like that’s where any squish has taken place as I’m sure is intended.

I had thought about sitting a small block on one of these just to guess how much it might compress under weight and then factor that in but at some point I just have to stop measuring shit and just put it together.

 

Guess I gotta eat my hat on those rubbers. Got home from work and they’ve squished are smushed down to somewhere between 3/4 and 7/8 of an inch. Looks like roadster shop has the best deal on the metal banded units but now I’m leery about what to order.

 

Are those rubber biscuits you have hard or soft?

Mine from Roadster Supply with the band are really hard.

 

Apparently soft lol these are compressed I would guess 50% gonna try to order some tonight before I go to bed. Was feeling productive this bums me out but can’t let it slow me down

edit- the squished to 3/4 or 7/5 in the previous post is over all height with weight on them

 

Ordered the roadster supply cushions, I’ll take these squishy ones and use them for a trans mount or something

 

Full fender sedan with the nose down in 1953? I’m filing this under inspiration while I wait on parts.
