Those mounts rust if you so much as look at them sideways.
I have the exact same pump and motor with the exact same rusted mounts. I have had it for a number of years now, and they started rusting almost immediately.
My pump does not leak, I do not spill anything on the pump. It rains, and they rust.
I take my entire filter apart each year and perform annual maintainance on it before I store it for the off season. This year, in addition to cleaning, lubricating, etc I pulled the entire motor with mounts off the base, wire wheeled / brushed them (I debated sandblasting, but decided against it this time) down to bare metal, primed them, and repainted them. We will see what happens this season.
Other people on TFP have had this problem as well
I have a 4 year old Hayward PowerFlo Matrix SP15932S pump with severe rusting of the motor mount that connects it to the base. It appears that the mount is permanately connected to the motor housing and not replaceable. Has anyone else experienced this or have any solutions?

The motor works well. Want to remove the old rusted mount and replace it. Will the Hayward SPX 2600G-1 adaptor mount fit and how does it attach? Does it take 6203 2RS bearings also? :unsure:

Those mounts are garbage - plain and simple.
If (when) those mounts rust through, you can use something like this, with the correct sized spacers, and band clamps to get the pump mounted again. Just flip it upsidedown so the pump sits in the "cradle" and the flat part is down
Something like this will also work, but you will have to remove all remnants of the rusted feet. That is a 48Y frame motor. So any bracket for a 48Y motor will fit it.
