Hi Kelvin
Just for interest, can you explain why you are changing the mounts and what
is the condition of the ones you removed?

Hi Kelvin,
I have no experience on a situation as yours but since options may be
limited, unless you switch to the Lord engine mounts (and I guess in the UK
that may not be easy) then I would try to install them an see how it feels
in terms of how much force will be needed to install them.
>From the pictures I assume that the ring you refer too and the hole are
concentric, so it is possible that the holes will end up in the right place
with only the outside of the rubber pushing against the socket in the mount.
If the holes do end up moving slightly off center, make sure that they are
all not clocked exactly in the same position or the engine will be displaced
slightly. Try to set each on a different position like 45-135-225-315 to
that the engine ends up centered.
Again, you may hear an opposing opinion but if I was out of options then
this is what I would try if the forces to line things up are not excessive.
And I would inspect the rubber mounts on a more regularly until you can get
better ones.
And again, in the UK maybe you can't do something like this.
Chris
