Subject:syncro owners - front diff mount question/survey
From:Alistair Bell
Date:Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:16:52 -0700

If any of the syncro owners have the time and inclination to have a
look at the front rubber mount on the front diff I'd be interested in
what you find...

I know its kinda hard to see because of the lip on the cross bracket,
but can you tell if you have a plastic spacer above and below the
diff. mounting ear? You know, the same kind of plastic spacers found
on the rear rubber mounts of the front diff.

Bentley not forthcoming, and the EKTA online shows none in diagram,
not even the rear ones , but lists "251 199 399" the spacers, as 4 .
This agrees with spacers on the rear only, but I have corresponded
with Richard Jones and he says he has the spacers on the front mount
too, and has seen other syncros with same.

I would be grateful for other owners findings.

cheers
