I had the same concern when I first mounted my 912S. Later I found that I
had NOT gotten the mounts fully compressed. I have the engine off now and
will be interested in replies to your question. My feeling is that the 4
washers , plus the shock mount full compressed will work out OK with the
AN41 bolts.
