New HD motor mount showed up today. Not very happy with it at all.....
Stock bolt was a fine thread, hardened, metric, with gold colored corrosion resistance coating.
New bolt is course thread SAE zinc plated. i don't even think it's hardened because there are no markings on the head indicating.
So you need to buy new nuts for it to work right off the bat.
The mounting holes are drilled SAE, so you need to drill them larger for the metric bolt to go through the engine case. Or buy new SAE nut and bolt for it, then it won't fit the engine case bushing perfectly.
And to top it all off, I had to spread/pry the mount wider to slip over the engine case bushing.
Not very happy with it at all for the $26 price tag plus shipping.
And it's definately not a simple swap the old for new kind of part.....
