[Supras] Trans Mount Bolts

[b2nice84 at aol.com]

It seems to be a common issue.  I too have one break loose inside the unibody on my MKIII.  On the old MKII I used to have had two break loose inside the unibody as well.  I ended up drilling a hole on the inside wall just large enough to get my finger in there to hold the bolt in place while I tighten it.  Each time almost cut my finger.  Pain in the butt.  
Good luck.

i'm not sure of the thread but I've recently figured out the stock nuts aren't 
welded into place well as two of mine have broken loose inside the 
unibody....bummer I know and figure on havin to dremel/die grinder cut a hole to 
remove the old and install the new. I seriously considering eliminating the 
rubber insulation of the mount as well as the one, soon to be two solid motor 
mounts haven't caused uncomfortable amounts of vibration (I had rotating 
assembly balanced during engine rebuild).
Sorry I couldn't be more help but I wasn't able to easily locate the 
aforementioned bolts in the parts breakdown at http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/EPC/291220/ 
where I usually find the details courtesy of a fellow SOGIite

At the rear of the trans there is a cross brace that holds a rubber mount.
It attaches to the car with four bolts going into threaded inserts in the
chassis.
 
Does anyone know what size these four bolts are, or were supposed to be?  8mm
is too loose and 10mm is a no go.
 
The is a strong possibility that someone re-tapped these four holes to
something other then stock (3/8 ?) .  I got the car as a roller so this is a
unknown.
