Hi Gary.
I'm not convinced that these new rubbers will settle very much. A sixteenth
maybe but not the half inch plus you are looking for. My solution was a bit
different and can best be explained with the pics attached. The list will
strip them for others so bear with me.
The clearance for the rebound rubber to the top of the engine mount rubber
is 1/22" (see clearance.jpg) and you are expected to shim that down to
reduce the gap. The gap is enormous and will take more than shims! 1/22"
is less than 1mm and any settling in the engine mount would use up that gap
very quickly. It certainly wouldn't settle further once the gap had closed
completely. The diagonal offset I mentioned in the engine mount block,
presents an edge to the rebound rubber and not the pair of metal plates that
would be expected if the plates were parallel. My fix came in two parts.
