While my motor is out waiting on the stator, I did get the cradle mount mod done. Now for the bad news, all of the rubber ISO mounts were shot, none worth holding onto. I picked up a bushing kit at NAPA, well it is the kit that has replaced the Moog kit. My question is, I will obviously have to use all 8 of the new bushings, top and bottom, to mount the engine cradle back to the frame. I am wondering if I should just go with solid mounts, or stay with the rubber bushings? Also I am wondering how much of a difference there is in vibrations using these and lets say the solid mounted motors on earlier cubs? If it is pretty much the same, I never thought the vibrations were that bad. My other concern is how much of a problem does that vibrating motor moving around create for the drive shaft? Or, do the rag joints help absorb this kind of abuse? Thanks for any input, it's Sunday and am sitting here doing my day off of work thinking
. I have found when I think I end up having to do more work LOL.
