    As I continue to investigate this Car, I removed the rear engine to frame mount on the passenger side. Although the front of the engine is rigidly mounted to the frame, the rear connects to the fram with a pressed steel bracked mounted rigidly to the horn on either side of the clutch-flywheel housing. These brackets in turn bolt to the frame with 4 boult and with round rubber isolators. The bottom rubber is one piece and is molded at a 90 degree angle to sit inside the frame angle on the bottom. See photo. Is there a known source for replacement rubbers?

    Yes……Ford V-8 rubbers from the Ford guys…..and the good news is they are cheap!

    I understood this to be the case, but when I got into my car, the parts I found are different from the Ford flathead parts. I have a ziploc bag of round rubbers labeled 1931 Pierce 8 but there is no way the parts inside will fit my Car.

    How about sheet or strip oil resistant rubber from McMaster-Carr, and then fashion your own?

    I got mine from Chassis Engineering, Inc. They fit my car but I did not have to use the metal cup washers supplied.

    Or, you can always find some rubber mud flaps that are the same thickness and see if you can cut some pieces from that.

    I know mud flaps worked great for the rubber portions under the radiator mounts when we removed the radiator.

    Update: I have cleaned the mount up via glass bead blast; the rubber parts are a little more elaborate than I first thought.

    They have typical features of a vibration isolation mount.

    I was anle to read a number on one of the parts: 158449. Another number (18) is I think maybe a mold number.
