If I am reading the ETKA correctly the carrier is the same for the air
cooled and 1.9L engines. (025-199-203-A) 86 and later (025-199-302-D), and
Syncros (025-199-203-E), get a different number.

Subject: Engine carrier question

Is an air cooled and a water cooled engine carrier (cradle) interchangeable?
All of the mounting points appear to line up the same. The reason I ask is
that I have both, but my water cooled carrier is bent from a PO mounting a
hitch receiver to the two bolt holes for the center two rubber mounts. This
has pulled the carrier towards the rear of the vehicle, bending the cradle
causing the rubber mounts to have a severe angle when mounted. I will be
using a non-stock exhaust, other than that being an issue, what are the
gotcha's?
