Rebuilding a pretty standard series 2 motor and need new engine mounts. Is there a real difference between series 2 and series 3 mounts with a standard motor? Obviously would need another bolt but I'm trying to keep as orig as poss.
Thanks.

standard short mounts= more rigid engine but possible increase in vibrations.
Longer mounts= more engine movement but less vibration.
Generally a trade off between slightly better handling with the engine mounted more rigidly, and a decrease in transmitted vibes but more movement in the engine unit

What you need is short mounts and 60mm cranks. Got them in 232 Rapido and 193 sr reedvalve engines. Invest in shares in Loctite

But they dont collapse, which is a winner in my book.
