[Vwdiesel] Motormounts--- (Hagars two canadian cents --or one us penny)

[Shawn Wright]

Hmmm... This was about 8 years ago, so I may be suffering from incorrect
recall, but I do have the parts in a box somewhere. I think the rubber
mount is a "donut" similar to the right rear, and mounted on the same axis
(vertical), where the hydraulic is mounted lying flat, with the bolt going
vertically (or almost vertically). Does this sound familiar?
My 'new' 85 has the hydr mount, but it also has a lot of little differences,
such as heated seats, carpeted trunk, height adjustable driver's seat, etc,
that the other one doesn't. (neither is a GL model).
