Have my motor out and was amazed at the flex in the stock rubber motor bar mounts - so much that I could easily move the bar several inches without the motor moving. I've read most of the threads about the various options but I am looking for reviews by those who have installed new nylon ones vs the stock rubber? Also, can you limit the dampening of the rubber by tightening the bolts and compressing the stock mounts?

the thing is, the stock ones arent a thru bolt. they are isolators.... 2 seperate pieces of threaded rod incased in the same rubber.....

so tightening doesnt do much for you.... it will still flop around in the ceter section.....

try nylon/delrin or if you want rigid... go to steel.


i assume we are talking about 73+ mounts?
