I swapped out my original for a top mount but then decided I needed a winter project. I know decals were available from Luis A and CS-Werk sells them. I assume Luis has none given the age of the post. Any source here? Also any sense of the color? My guys can match but there just isn't enough left of the original color. Also I assume mine is original and not modified, I ask cause the inner flange is a bit obtuse ( see below). Also there is only a mounting bolt, inner removeable lower plate and spring. Is there anything missing?

Top bolt doesn’t use that plate, it simpler, this is the e12 example.

I have a top bolt on there but the recent forum has got me concerned about its applicability. I have to look and see if there are any numbers on it. I had the top bolt setup in my basement for ten years and don't recall what car it was from. From my POV, the bolt location is moot. The original one was just beat up but you know, as you restore, you become more anal an desire more of the original.
All the top bolts are the same.
I did not plug the hole!
You only plug hole in b35 block, not b30.
Thanks. I know everything about this car but not an engine guy....yet.
Years ago I had mine powder coated and I think it was a Chevrolet orange.
Stan, I saw that color on the VHT site and thought it would be right.
