Front engine mounts

[Stempy]

Looking to fit some orginal front engine mounting plates (78 sport non electric start)can anyone tell me if the front engine mounting plates are different between model years ?

Cheers

There are two types for the 350/500s. The earlier type frame with the straight front downtubes and the later kinky down tube frames. Same plates apply to Kanguro and Camel. The chopper variants are oddball ones though...

Early straight down tube frames have engine plates with round holes
Later kinked frames have smaller engine plates with slotted holes
