6.
Using Figure 3 as a guide, create a plastic or cardboard template of the engine mount reinforcement. This template will be used when constructing
the engine mount reinforcement later. Do not worry about the bent tab of the reinforcement at this time.
7.
The width of the cardboard or plastic template will need to be adjusted so that it fits between the engine mount bracket legs as shown in Figure 4.
Adjust the width of the template as necessary so that it fits flush between the engine mount bracket legs.
B.
Once the width of the cardboard or plastic template is adjusted to the appropriate size, cut a piece of 4 mm (0.18 in.) thick, SAE 1008-1010 mild
steel using the template as a guide. Bend the upper finger of the reinforcement so that it resembles the bend shown in Figure 3. On some 1991 and
prior model year trucks, the upper finger of the reinforcement may need to be adjusted to provide a sufficient welding area.
9.
Clean the engine mount bracket thoroughly in preparation for welding.
