Model A front mount

Anyone using these?
I'm thinking they have been replaced by a different setup.

From what I have read, the stock setup in the front is best.

The so-called "beehive" front mount was a common aftermarket replacement several decades ago. I assume it was thought to be superior at the time. Nowadays folks use either the stock front motor mount or the aftermarket front "float-a-motor" mount which vaguely mimics the way the B engine mounted, with rubber donuts on each side of a wide cross-member.

The original I believe did not have the rubber part in each spring.

Thanks all.
I think I'll stick with stock.

There was a set of them in my '31 CCPU when I bought it, the rubbers were as hard as concrete. I replaced them w/a stock set up, much smoother.

Even with the Float-A-Motor rear mounts, the rubber pads should be replaced where the Float-A-Motor mounts to the frame. Also, the bolts should be snug not tight. Shaken not stirred.
