Broken motor mount safety catch. . .any idea on how to rig this? 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be kraynek on  Tue Mar 2 13:14 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I just saw a post about the passenger side motor mount shearing, and the resulting catastrophic failure due to oil leaking out of the damaged oil filter.

anyway, i was thinking that, instead of having the broken mount result in a hole torn in the oil filter, a safety catch could be rigged up inside the engine compartment. This would keep the engine from resting on the oil filter, but also still vibrate like hell so you would know something was wrong.

I haven't had a chance to go look under the hood lately, so does anyone have any ideas of how to make this happen?
