1949 F-2 Engine mounts

Greetings FTE'ers! After months of working every weekend on Gertie, I finally drove her home to Columbus, IN yesterday. The 48 mile trip was relatively uneventful, except that I had to pull over four times to clean the crap out of the fuel line.

The question I have today for the parts gurus, is if the motor mounts for the 239 flathead are the same for both the F-1 and F-2. My mounts are pretty well squashed, and the fan is running perilously close to the bottom of the guard.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Yes, the rubber motor mounts are the same.

Thank you Ilya. I thought they were, but all the listings I came across in several of the major vender's catalogs stated either F-1, or F-1 only.

It can get confusing owning an F2 or F3, I think a lot of vendors list F1 only as they themselves don't know what interchanges. I've bought quite a lot of "F1 only" parts for my F3.
