Royal and Chicagowil have the new style mounts where the motor mount bolt goes down into the frame bracket verses the horizontal bolt like the Mustang II pair I posted a picture of uses.
Post a pix of the newer frame brackets with a steel cut sheet and we can make them and use the mount for the later Mustangs that they still sell.
I’m not convinced Royal has the newer style frame brackets. Post some pix and dimensions if you do.
These are the original version horizontal bolt CRI brackets that use Mustang II motor mounts.





I used the late 80's style convertibleFox Body motor mounts.

This is the old motor mount with the frame bracket mount still attached to the motor when I pulled the motor out. You can see how far offset the mount is pushing the motor back.
