Abstract
An adapter plate for pivotally securing an isolating mount to a drive train component is provided. The adapter plate includes a body portion which can be secured to the drive train. The adapter plate also includes a pivot support formed on the body portion. The pivot support has a pivot member for pivotally securing a first end of the isolating mount. The adapter plate also includes a securing member formed on the body portion. The securing member has an aperture for aligning with a corresponding aperture at a second end of the isolating mount. The isolating mount can pivot about the pivot support during installation of the drive train component within a vehicle, and the isolating mount can be secured to the securing member to prevent pivotal movement after installation of the drive train component within the vehicle.
