I am on the final end of shipping tragedy with Forward Air. In case the odds
are long for finding just these mounts separate of the whole diesel setup,
here is another alternative -  if someone has this part not mounted some
good pictures and dimensions should be enough for me to get a few made
locally. Ideally I would like to borrow one to use as a guide. I would be
happy to pay shipping both ways and should need it no longer than a week.

There appears to be a small plate that mounts between or on the other side
of the frame for this set up. Somewhat like the way the wasserboxer engine
mount has that additional plate that rides on top of the frame. Is this also
made of steel plate or something softer? Any info on how this is set up with
a diesel engine mount would be welcome.

Thanks,
Owen
