Tom Lowe sells ''292 motor mounts'', but the RH side one [Pass.Side] bolts to the Mechanical Fuel Pump mount so you are forced to use an electric fuel pump.
Also, the more-forward stance of the 292 PS mount helps to offset the torque of the Long Tall L-Six.
As far as the pad with the rubber sandwich -- I never had one come apart, but I used the later Safety style with curled metal edges that won't let go.
