Regarding changing the engine mountings. I advise that you discuss this with
Andy before going ahead. I have just replaced my mountings after five year's
service. He has advised me not to go to softer alternatives. When Europa
tried it they discovered that the engine developed a noticeable sag after a
while.
They have developed an alternative design using the same bushes, but
reducing the compression by securing with slightly longer bolts and spacers.
Cheers Bryan
