It's where the expansion bolts to the crankcase side bracket, with the 2 m8 bolts. I've ordered some nylon bar. I'll cut it to size and drill it. Can't find heat resistant rubber.
How's it going dug?

Not bad Fred,i'm still p1551ing about with engines.
The reason i asked for a photo is I had a NK on my Suzuki 225 for years and the original swan neck spacers fell to bits the morning of a rally and the only thing I had in the shed that was rubber was an inner tube. So I cut out two pieces that matched the swan neck profile and they were on up till last year when I put the RB engine in.
The exhaust never cracked or came loose so might be worth a look if your stuck mate
