[alfa] Obie's 164 mount, Bosch connectors and new stuff

Obie and all,

I am the source for this concoction. The mount is not a direct fit and I 
have to modify them to fit.
It's listed here.

I think this V.2 is pretty good, should be easier for most to install as 
the stud is now a bolt. Easier ingress.

Also, I have finally found a reliable source for Bosch connectors. For 
injectors and coolant temp sensors, the only one I'd found was an AutoZone 
piece by MotorMite. It was ok quality and no boot. Also, the local stores 
have stopped stocking it.

After some serious digging, I found a fabricator that has made me some 
beautiful and race vibration resistant connectors. New style with spring 
loaded clip instead of the one that breaks the brittle plastic and shoots 
in your eye...
Black connector, boot, vibration loop, and about 4 inches of 18 gauge 
pigtail. Not cheap as the AutoZone, I'd need about $18 a piece, but they 
are better than OEM. So if you want to fix that taped up nasty broken plug 
once and for all, let me know. See it here:

The first delivery of Spider polyurethane tranny mounts is on the way. I'm 
excited to get this on hand. Oil proof!!!

Through some kindness and good relationship, I can now offer any part 
number that PowerFlex offers. Saab, Porsche, Subaru etc. If there is a 
custom need for bushings and reasonable quantities can be used, let me know 
and we'll get them made.

Thanks!
Bill
