Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
Chris,
I went thru this drill last Fall with rear cushions way to thick & poorly made. Consider a bowling ball and the 'sneaker's' you wear daily.....both made from the same stuff except one is highly compressed & the other lightly. Which do you suspect will absorb vibration better ? With the Snyder's cushions (and two talented friends) no issues installing the engine WITHOUT A FRAME SPREADER. Never needed it before, why now ??? |

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
Those you have can be installed. I used a bottle jack and a 2X4 as a frame speader. Lube the rubber with some silicone grease and you will be surprised how quick and easy it will all go together. With the mounts already installed just spread the frame a bit and grease the metal some.

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
Snyders Rear motor mount rubber pads are slightly thinner AND slightly softer than those that Brattons sell. I tried Brattons at first and had to use a frame spreader...was not happy so I removed them and used Snyders...engine went in perfectly. It was just that little adjustment that made the difference and made the engine fit the way it was supposed to.
I have no idea if Snyders pads are made to specs or if Brattons pads are made to specs...But it sure would be interesting to find out someday but I do not have to worry about it any more. Pluck |

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
I did try to use a piece of wood to pry it in their along with greasing the mounts to no avail. The gap just is not big enough.

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
JoeCB: I had considered that possibility and initially hoped that was the case but, on close inspection, these are definitely cracks (predominantly through-wall). Mine are the drawn steel - not cast iron.

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
Question for everybody: if the engine is very tight against the mounts will that affect the vibration rather than having the correct thickness pads?

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
I was going to order some pads from Brattons tomorrow but after reading this I thought I'd try Snyders. I don't have their catalog so I tried their online catalog. Hardest thing I've ever seen to try to navigate, so I guess I'll take my chances with Brattons .

Re: Rear Motor Mount Rubber Issue
Thanks Pluck, that's what I'll do. Brattons is still my favorite, they've always been great to deal with.
