[DeTomaso] converting to factory ZF side mounts

When I got 1488, the rear condenser was removed, so I ordered a complete
fan, shroud, and condenser from a vendor.  When I went to install it, I
found the rear mounts for the ZF were in the way of a proper fit.  The
vendor mentioned that I would need to update the mounts to side mounts and
that by doing so would also help eliminate clutch chatter.  I would tell
you which vendor it was, but to be honest, I do not remember for sure which
one of two and I do not want to give false information.

     A  A Espen,
     A  A Yes, the rear mount is likely more than sufficient.
     A  A In my case, however, an upgraded air conditioning condenser
     required me
     A  A to abandon the rear mount and I have been using another side
     mount
     A  A supplied by a vendor.
     A  A I just wanted something that looked a little bit nicer, and as
     most
     A  A other owners, I am cursed with the constant need to change and
     upgrade
     A  A my car. ;-)
