specs on engine mounts?

Hey guys, building my own aluminum replacement for the rubber engine mounts, need specs for O/S diameter, diameter of center hole and thickness of material.

Thanks, Steve

After reading your PM and checking the mounts I have, I'm confused. The rh and lh 12A mounts are different. I found one of each laying around the shop, put them in the vise, compressed and measured them. One is 1-9/16 the other is 1-3/16" thick. This includes both cups. The diameter of the rubber is 2-1/2", uncompressed, and the bolts are 10x1.25mmx3-9/16" for the thick one and 3" for the thinner one..

Outside cup is 4-1/8", inner cup is 3-3/8", both outer diameters.

I"m not sure which mount is right or left, that is where the confusion lies. Since I am running a non-stock carb, I don't know which one goes to which side.

My guess would be make the mounts 3" in diameter, one thick, one thin and a 3/8" grade 8 bolt should get you mounted.
