Years ago I was drag racing my car, had my hood open in the pits and was approached by a gentleman who was very concerned. He had noticed the rubber in one of my motor mounts was broken & felt if I continued racing, the engine could possibly flip up and smash my hood. I was a horrified until another gentleman pointed out the metal parts of the mount had a slot & "t" design to limit the amount of movement. So, I continued to race & was never concerned. That was about 40 yrs. ago. Now I'm thinking replacing the mounts is a good idea & am wondering if the aftermarket parts utilize the original design that keeps the (2) metal parts from coming completely undone. The photos I'm finding at Rock Auto.com & others aren't that detailed.
LATER:
After posting this, I found a photo, of Rock City's Anchor brand mount on Amazon.com, large enough to see it appears to have the locking "T" arrangement. Any confirmation would still be appreciated.
