Motor mounts for driver side front 1990 80

[Huw Powell]

I went up in the attic again and looked at my spare doors, I have to say 
I am not certain at all about my statement that the rubber mounts are 
integral, partly since I didn't try to remove any of them when I made 
that mental note.  I suspect they are a separate part just like at the 
fuel pump assembly, radiator mounts, earlier window motors, etc.

In the end it is a fairly generic part - all you need is the right bolt 
size/thread and the right thickness.  I doubt I will even try to re-use 
my old spares, for all that work I'd rather put in three new ones.

PS, speaking of "misuse" (loading in shear not compression as someone 
mentioned about the window application), the fuel tray ones are also 
pretty short-lived, since all the (vibrating) weight is hanging from 
them rather than resting on them.
