That's a great point about fore-aft movement.
If you see several applications where they have them arranged so the closed
sides are fore-aft, then that sounds right.
 I can't recall how there were in a Quantum TD that I originally got those
mounts from - I thought they had the closed sides the way I suggested.

Also...I'm thinking about the tilt of your engine mounts.  Is the engine
mounted currently at approximately the same degree of tilt as it originally
was in a jetta ?  would want to keep those angles and engine mount types
about the some I'd think.

At this point I'm sure you are ready to just 'put it together' and move on
to the next phase ! and what you have already will probably work OK.

Subject: Was: Should engine mount move... Now: Viewing Image of Fox mounts
in ETKA

This is for a Jetta 2.0 engine with Fox mounts and brackets in my Vanagon.

So, ok.

In ETKA I'm viewing:

'89 Fox  "MG": 1   "SG":  99   "Illustration Stock":  199-00. The Fox
mounts look like they're mounted at 90 degree's to engine crank.

?

I'm looking at a small image of this.

IF I'm seeing it correctly, then the mount appears to be designed to
handle fore/aft movement when power applied to wheels. Not side to
side movement.

Not taking issue with anyones helpful opinions, just curious and want
to set it up as close to "stock" as possible.

If this isn't too misguided on my part!  --- :^)
