Front engine support

The front engine support underwent the normal procedure; dismantled, sand blasted, plated, painted and - together with new bushings - assembled again.

Not much to say about these two rubber mountings, just ordered new ones. 

Rear engine suspension

Sometime, and somewhere, during this restoration I lost the rear engine suspension. I ordered a new one, together with its screening plate and an article not in the spare parts list's drawing, a support plate. The latter came with its two screws. I had no idea what it was and my supplier neither but said it should be ok for my car. I was inclined to believe them but it took me sometime to verify this. See Engine and its auxiliary systems under the Assembly section for more information!
