Well, judging from the responses, it looks like I didn't do a very good 
job of explaining what I need :~)

Yes, my car is IRS. Automatic Type 34s had IRS in 1968 and 69, manual 
Type 34s had IRS in 69 only. I have the engine hanger, otherwise the 
engine would fall out, as you say. The engine hanger is bolted to two 
metal plates at the side of the engine bay. I understand that there are 
supposed to be rubber bushings or something between the metal plates and 
the engine hanger. This is what I am missing. Therefore my engine sits 
too low (the two ends of the rubber air intake boot don't line up 
properly) I assume that the rubber bushings would absorb some of the 
vibration of the engine.

I will send pics of what I have tomorrow, if it isn't raining. It's dark 
here now.

Thanks,

Daniel
