        I don't know the volume needed for the brake system but 1 quart is
too much.  You need to check the brake booster and make sure the vacuum hose
is clear and not running brake fluid into the engine.

The total thickness of my original used motor mounts ranges from 1.3" to
1.4".
It has been reported that none of the motor mounts currently on the market
will work on a Tiger.
Too low a motor mount and the fan will hit the rack.
