[Tigers] motor mount reinforcement

[CoolVT at aol.com]

I used method #1 and no problems after 5 years. But, the car hasn't been  
used on the strip or track either.

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
