[s-cars] engine mounts

[Cody Forbes]

The only time I've messed with it was ~2 years ago doing a GT2871  
install. Maybe it was going back together with the new turbo there was  
some reason why it couldn't be reached. I believe I had a problem with  
possibly the head size of the nut being too large and a socket  
wouldn't fit.
