Subject: [Amel] Re: Engine Motor Mounts



Have you checked with a mechanic to see if they're standard mounts? Maybe email or print out a picture to show a parts dealer? Hopefully they're standard mounts.

I buy all my Yanmar stuff from Barbara at Golden State Diesel in Oakland, CA. She has treated me well for the past few decades and knows the parts business.
