Default Wren 54 mkIII

Hello everyone,
I have been here reading almost daily for about 6 years now. Patiently waiting, reading, gathering as much info and knowledge as I can without causing too many disruptions. Well, I finally got myself a trainer jet (well kinda).

Anyway, I have a good friend whose been around here for a while, who is helping me get this thing ready to fly so I can get my waiver. He put it on a test stand and got it running in no time. Actually the little bugger impressed both of us. It's a propane start and we are able to start it in about 5 seconds. And the little bugger runs like a champ, super smooth.

The only problem I'm having is the motor mount is loose, and the turbine moves forward in the mount until the glo plug hits the mount. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can stop the turbine from moving? I have just sent an email to Wren asking for an answer but thought I would ask here as well. Thought about putting a piece of rubber between mount and turbine but I'm guessing here.

Thanks.
