[Tigers] motor mount reinforcement

[Brad Huff]

Just checking to see if anyone has drilled through and bolted their motor mounts to prevent separation and the accompanying  damage to their fan shroud and hood. If so what method did you use. 1) drilling through the plates, countersinking the heads of the grade 8 bolts and simply a washer and nylock nut clamped tight on the backside or 2) a similar procedure differing only in that you would drill a slightly larger hole on the exit side and under the clamping washer place a neoprene washer to isolate the bolt, washer, and nut slightly from the top plate to minimize vibration issues. Is this over thinking the problem, that is, is the vibration caused by the through bolts even that big of an issue? Thanks to all in advance.-Brad
