RE: 76 GTV- rear motor mount, etc

["Peter Webb" <webb.p@xxxxxxxxx>]

The prescribed method (saw Glynn do this with ease on my old Milano) is to
heat the alum around the bushing and knock it out with an air chisel once
the alum has expanded.   With the way the new one slid in, the air is
probably overkill.  Looked like it might just slide out.

Reheat the alum again and the new bush slips right in without force.   Take
cold wet rags and rapidly cool the alum around the bush and its in there for
good.

Subject: 76 GTV- rear motor mount, etc


I'm in the process of replacing the propeller shaft rubber washers (guibos)
on my 76 Alfetta GT. In the process I've found a couple more pieces that
require replacement.

First the rear motor mount has completely disintegrated. The previous owner
was nice enough to leave me replacement, but now Im left with figuring out
the best way to install it. Has anyone had a positive experience with
replacing this motor mount without removing the rear bell ?

Also, I called IAP for a new shaft support. They sell one that is close, but
not an exact match (meant for newer model). Apparently the idea here is that
you can drill a new mounting hole and it should work. Again, does anyone
have any in-sight here. I vaguely remember a surrogate posting about a month
ago.
