Put a brace up to the hole above lower mounts. They are supposed to mount in three places to stiffen them up.

I think I've got a couple of the engine mount brackets for the engine in the poop tip / garage somewhere. They are a steel bracket that bolts to the block with a hole in to take one side of the cotton reel mount, thus leaving you with a single stud either side to drop into a chassis mount. I'll have a look for them and take some pics for you.

I'm pretty sure they are P6 mounts so they will give you a lot of room to play with.

Hi perry,

i get the idea from the pics,will need to make something around my original brackets,i see that they mount at about 45deg so that gives me plenty to look at i morning.

they wont fit near mine perry,steering gets in the way thas why is not easy to do the mounts.

get them on ebay and make something,need the cash for pistons

I just bolted my RV8 in solid using the typical SD1 style steel mounts, and some steel spacers. No vibrations, and no engine twisting problems.
