[alfa] Veloce engine mounts in Normale

["Ed Rosenthal" <jabiomed@xxxxxxx>]

[Ed Rosenthal] does anyone out there know anything about installing
after-market Veloce engine mounts in a '64 Normale?  I purchased a pair
from a well-established and reputable after-market Alfa parts supplier
and ran into a tremendous amount of difficulty reinstalling the engine.
After finally getting engine back in, the transmission support bracket
would no longer line up with the original holes in the frame, so I could
not complete the installation.  Supplier claims this has never been a
problem, although (in retrospect,) logic tells me it should be (or could
be,) since the new tilt angle of the engine/tranny would shift things a
bit.  Does anyone know what the solution is, or at least why no one else
seems to have had this problem? (I installed new mounts, incidentally,
in order to gain better access to the dual Webers, which I installed
many years ago.)  Thanks!
