So mine was taken apart for a paint job at one point then never put back together. Its a RL411 SSS and cant figure out what i need to mount the engine right. All the parts catalogues i look in only seem to show the normal J motor. Mostly just trying to figure out what the SSS is supposed to have.

It'll use R16 mounts, just like a Roadster.

OK, so, let' see a picture of what you're working with.

I have a SSS wagon, so I'm glad to help - but you have to do your part too. :)

Your 5:15 PM post is the correct mount. Note that there is a very distinct difference between the Passenger and Driver side mounts so that the exhaust can wind its way to the hole in the left fender.

The parts manual lists primarily PL411 parts until you migrate to the very last section which has the RL411 parts.

for sure thanks! I had a feeling that one on the r16 was correct. Just didn't know if it was missing anything besides the bolts. Also couldn't find any example of those mounts so started to wonder. And you mean the parts catalogue thats on here ?

Yes. The parts catalog is as complete as any I have seen. Be aware however that the part ID numbers on the illustrations seldom match up perfectly with the parts list. That's what happens when the drawings get updated but someone forgets to cross reference the parts list. Just use common sense and read the descriptor not the drawing reference.
