Was Ist Das?

[OCCoupe]

I was replacing the motor mounts on my 2800cs and found myself reflecting on the fact that I didn’t have any poodles when all of a sudden I found this (not the quarter) under the passenger side motor mount. Clearly it Is a shim and not a furry dog. Has anyone seen one of these on their car?

Das ist eine schöne Sache aus der Fabrik.

Yes; but what factory? Builder's surplus? Hecho en Chinois?

Never seen one- want to sell it?

Entweder Eisenach oder Dingolfing. Wahrscheinlich nur ein generisches Motorhalterungs-Shim-Tool. Ist meine beste vermutung.

It is actually a welding wedge. Either from when the car was built or at some point when & if the motor mounts were replaced. They come in sets of both fixed of varying thickness & varying thickness wedges like this.

I don’t have one of those. But that should be no surprise.

Best,

It looks like that quarter has spent some time under a motor mount as well.
