That will work in my favor, presenting me with less material to flex and then break.  Based on what I can see, it appears that it&#8217;s about a 10 degree cant to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/piwigo.putrescence.org\/i.php?\/upload\/2020\/07\/01\/20200701073401-ae209a48-la.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/piwigo.putrescence.org\/i.php?\/upload\/2020\/07\/01\/20200701073139-c1b056a0-la.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Other important numbers that I&#8217;m going to need for later:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The rubber part of the mount is 70mm in diameter<\/li><li>The overlap of the body-side mount to the engine-side mount is about 10mm deep x 62mm long<\/li><li>The right side of the car (left side in the pictures) is 140mm from the rubber insert to the engine-side bracket<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How I use that information is yet to be determined, but I&#8217;m thinking about ways to trim up the engine-side bracket and then attach some angle iron.
