Black Dragon Engine Mounts Don't Fit

[240260280z]

Hmmmm the alignment pin below the bolt does not align with the holes in the front cross member. The pins are ~3mm too low.

The catalog says 62-600 [70-83] and the car is a '71 so I don't understand.

Before I slot the existing holes any insight?

this may be a silly question but are they on the wrong sides by chance? stuff like this has slipped me up before.

Thanks. I tried both parts on both sides...same problem. Same part numbers in catalogue and on the box they came in.

The Nissan mating plates are left and right for anyone reading this thread in the future.

i cant tell from the picture, but is the pin notched on that one mount?

Each shock-mount has a pin and a bolt, each corresponding structure on the cross-member has a hole for the bolt and a hole for the pin. The problem is the pin in the shock-mount does not align with the hole, it is a few mm too far away from the bolt.

Blue, I have a set of true Nissan engine mounts that I had on my turbo setup for 4 years and 5,000 miles (yes, 5,000 miles). Are you interested?

Thanks. I appreciate that. This is a free resto for a friend so I'll just drill out to go the easy route.

I ended up filing the pins back ~ 2mm and it worked fine. The parts were from Black Dragon and the origin is India.
