would the passenger side mount be considered the left? i looked at a pic. online and the right side is the offset one. is my mount just that far gone that it looks to be offset.

Drivers side, Left side. The Motor mount is about 1 5/8" in diameter. The Threaded stud is NOT centered on the metal disc.

Passenger side, Right side, Motor mount is almost 3" in diameter. The threaded stud IS centered on the metal disc. The pic in the post below is a passenger mount.

I would say the Passenger side is the Right side. I refer to the cars sides from the Drivers seat looking out.
In the U.S. the drivers seat is on the Left side of the car.

I agree with Tony,
" I would say the Passenger side is the Right side. I refer to the cars sides from the Drivers seat looking out.

AFAIK, nobody gets mixed up on other vehicles. I mean we don't need to refer to an airliner by "Pilot's side" or "Co-pilot's side". Seems intuitive to me that anything with a front and a back will also have a left side and a right side.

Speaking as a codger, I think this "driver's/passenger's side" thing crept in maybe 20/25 years ago -- and has taken firm root somehow.
I wonder what Andy Rooney thinks about it?

" you ever wonder why car people talk about Drivers side and passenger side of cars only? I know I do." yadda yadda yadda : )

After seeing the pic in this message from last weekend, I'd say it could be.
