Correct answer to the first question!......... two more questions?

P.S. I have no clue “why?”, curious if anyone even has a theory?!

I believe it was the 77' K model front left motor mount. As for why... why not?  ;D

Madmtnmotors........ Correct! Both questions. Why would Honda make that upper front motor mount a removable bracket ONLY in 1977?? In 1978, they reverted to the solid lug. There must be a reason?

Maybe they were just checking to see if we were paying attention!  ;)

Changes like that are usually related to production costs and tme studies.  The removable engine mount was maybe tried to reduce cost/time of frame production, but it was found to be more costly in in terms of labor time to install and production costs to produce two stampings verses one lug.
Just guessing.

Kerry......that’s the best guess by far. Still very weird. So few changes by Honda ever reverted back to the original version..........

My guess is a parts shortage...but really, there are probably dozens of these kind of parts change anomalies and I still don't care much for or about the K7's.
