    Uh, I was asking why did the previous poster say you need to turn the engine mount bar around. I think he thought about the 911's engine bay motor mounts.

    Sorry for the long explaination. I didn't see the previous statement and you already know why as you know Craig Smith and his son.
    But for some that might wonder why. Now they know. There are many ways to put these cars together and I enjoy reading about what others do. Each persons idea for their Porsche is just as valid. I tip my cap to all who have Porsche on the brain.

    Chris- Remember that it's going in a 912. The motor mounts
    are forward of the 911 location.
