Early engine mount bracket needed

[Steven Ayres <comwest@well.com>]

A deserving member and dependable sponsor of my club has a '68 
vinyl-roof fastback undergoing restoration. In what must be one of the 
most puzzling examples of PO dunderheadedness I've seen, the car is 
missing its rear engine mount bracket, the part that's spot-welded to 
the body and holds the rear mount donut. The owner is considering 
installing a late-type engine mount bar instead, but I've convinced him 
to wait a couple of weeks to see what I could come up with.

This is an excellent example of the breed, with clean, dry sheet metal 
all around and the roof in excellent shape. It would really bug me to 
see the engine compartment bunged up, and I hope it would also bug someone 
else here enough to help me find a donor. The part we need is something 
that's usually still good even on a badly rusted-out car, so I figure 
there's hope. 

We'll need the engine mount itself, too, of course, but the support rod 
is thankfully still on the engine. If you have an early Square or Fast 
that you have cut up or can cut up, or if you know someone who has and 
might be willing to send a chunk out, please E-mail. Thanks!
