[DeTomaso] converting to factory ZF side mounts

Thanks, that’s an interesting input!

If this is the reason for changing from rearmount to the stronger sidemount solution, I must reconsider my opinion. I thought they changed only because the rear casing bolts broke.

 

Anyone else has knowledge about this?

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.

   Maybe the two side mounts add some chassis stiffening?
