    Don't know the answer to this one, but I will pass along a mod I did to mine when the mount separated.
    I drilled a hole straight through the center of the mount, both pieces of steel and the rubber bushing. The hole was 3/8" if I remember right. Then I took a 3/8" grade 8 bolt long enough to make it through the mount and fastened it with a nylon lock nut. Don't tighten it more than snug. Now it will be snug, yet still have the rubber bushing for vibration control unlike a solid mount.
    Just a thought

    Dave,

    At the recent Fun Ford Weekend in Houston, I noticed there were a couple of Mavericks with mounts modified in the way you described.

    Me thinks I'll do the same (can't hurt!)


    Thanks,
