Should fit just fine if they are the same size.... I often refer to VWs as
"Parts bin bastards" as so many parts are interchangeable.  You can get
polyurethane inserts for the A1 mounts as well, if you REALLY want to firm
things up.

Subject: Transaxle mount, possible source A1 chassis?

My front transaxle mount is shot again.  This is a used one I picked up.
The price of a new mount is about $125.  It looks to me like the right
side motor mount from an A1 chassis VW will fit; they both are 75mm in
dia, not sure about width.

Has anyone tried this?  I was actually planning on installing the VW
Motorsport A1 mount with the firmer rubber, for the way I drive. :)  This
performance mount is only $24, but I would need to press the old mount out
of the Vanagon bracket, and press the new one in.
