Motor Supports

I think one of my motor supports is a bit shorter than the other.  I would have thought they were the same.

Harry,
Are you talking about the (rubber) motor mounts?

Yes.  Those that mount to the cross member that the aluminum arms rest on.  (Sorry for not being clearer.)

I measured the ones I bough from MB after I saw your post. Mine are the same and measure approximately 58.5mm (both).
Hope that helps.

Thanks Dirk - great information.  I had checked with my local MB dealer and they said that they couldn't get these?  (Very surprising.)

Just bought them a couple of weeks ago from the classic center here in CA.
