Export arrangement from Belgium? I have a French imported 1300 what was build in Belgium and a Dutch 1300tc made in Belgium. These don't differ from eachother except early and late, carbs etc. but these dont differ from the UK spec other than mine have the steering wheel fitted on the correct side. Also enginemounts the same as the UK spec and the same through the whole range.

It is a mystery then as I'm pretty sure that mine hasn't been modified as the parts seems really genuine (exactly as the Reparation Operation Manual, page 4-102). But for sure this arrangement is weird ...

Finally measured mine (T2000) and in situ it is approx 35mm thick ... compressed. I will ask a T2000 guy to measure it unloaded.

I replaced mine with Morris Marina/Sherpa rubber mounts. (EM677)
If the car was made in Belgium, these are the original mounts. Not the sandwich type.
I have two 1300 TC from 1970, both with this type of mount.
