I use solid front mounts and a standard rear mount. I like Bob's
approach--I'll have to try that. Solid mounts make the car a little buzzier,
but I don't have to worry about breaking engine mounts. With Joe's aluminum
front plate the vibration is damped quite a bit.

silocone will absorb some harmonics at the same time as adding some extra
adhersion to the rubber and metal parts. It has worked for a couple of years.
I use the little angle pieces on the sides to keep it from squeezing out.
