Paul --

The mount system, as I refer to it, is composed of three parts:

the frame bracket (all steel; welded to the frame rails; flat surface with 2 holes spaced about 4" apart if I recalll correctly);

the pad (steel halves with a rubber cushion holding them together; top half has 2 studs and bottom half has two holes which match the frame bracket bolt hole locations; steel parts also interlock to prevent total mount failure in the event that the rubber becomes separated);

the engine bracket (steel; bolts to block; has two holes inline which match the two studs on the pad)

Hopefully that will get the terminology straight enough for me to write about it clearly. I know it's hard to write about this stuff... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

At any rate, looking at your photos, it seems that you've got the pad and engine bracket from the gas engine in one photo.

The other photo, as near as I can tell (I really don't feel like going out to look in the garage at the moment as it's going to be -10* tonight!) seems to show an engine bracket on the right, and possibly two pieces of a mount pad. It looks like some lazy fool cut the mount out instead of removing the two bolts that secure it to the frame. I can't really tell, though -- were those two pieces once connected?

You should probably try some C223 mount pads, they just may work.
