No pinch bolt on the Alfetta.
Shim/no shim front trans mount is a GTV6/Milano issue.
This issue comes up on the BB from time to time and when it has frankly, I've always thought something must be assembled incorrectly. Until recently that is, when it was noticed on my Alfetta. The body is slotted to accept the rear trans mount bolt so there is some adjustment there, but as you, I'm a bit of a loss to explain the difference. I was going to replace the rear engine mount next as it's a little buggard. Your comment about the angle was interesting as I've been focusing on the length. The angle would only seem to come into play if as you say, the front trans mounts were the wrong part as the carrier bearing postion (assuming new components here) is fixed.
I've been considering the possiblity that the new giubos are slightly narrower, but have no basis for this, other than I have a '76 front giubo (older style) and it is quite a bit thicker than a couple of newer ones, but the difference just might be by design and not a manufacturing change.
Hope your thread generates some good suggestion.
