RE: Engine mount junk or not to junk
I thought the same thing, but it won`t fail in normal use. I broke one in a crash, and I thought it was perhaps too brittle, not able to withstand the same punishment as a nylon mount, but they`re not designed to crash.
I endorse the comment that if you use loktite and nylock nuts, snug it down, it will never move. The bonus is that it is easy to adjust the engine position.
