[Vwdiesel] Motor mounts (cab drone revisited)

[Fernando Fiore]

     I believe it's supossed to go in as an upside-down Y.. my reasoning is
the other way (Y right side up) the engine is hanging from the Y rubber and
sitting its weight on the bottom rubber, but in an upside down Y
configuration, the engine compresses the Y orientation, and when the weight
of the engine is on the mount, you see it move down and the engine looke
like it is now "floating", allowing it to move around and let the mount
absorb vibration.  I did my mount and installed it "upside down Y" and my
vibration was reduced, so I hope I am right!!

Hope this helps!
