Default RE: Metal Engine Mount Resources ?

There tends to be a problem with the aluminum mounts. They are heavy. They stress crack and break. They won't hold a screw without using Locktite or a jam nut.

The plastic mounts will hold without vibrating out a sheetmetal screw

You can drill and tap plastic mounts with machine screw threads and they will hold the screw without it vibrating out even without lock nuts
