[DeTomaso] Pedestal-puck-puck-mount or Pedestal-puck-mount-puck ?

[Charles Engles]

Dear Mike,

              I have just now visually confirmed the combination of pedestal-puck-engine mount-puck.  You're correct.

                          Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Chuck,

You just gave yourself some projects to tackle then. The proper arrangement is pedestal-puck-engine mount-puck. The engine mount is isolated above and below by the rubber pucks, and the bottom puck rests against the pedestal.  There is a large fender washer atop the upper puck, which spreads the load from the nut across the entire surface of the puck.
