Dragster silent block

While I've got the engine out I'm going to replace the main engine mount (silent block) which appears to be knackered.
The Haynes Manual I have for Gileras reckons replacement is a job for Dealers/Specialist Engineers.
Can anyone advise otherwise and offer any tips?

It went pressed in easy with the Lambretta silent block tool.
Can anyone tell me where this fits.
It came with the top end gasket set, but I can't figure out where it supposed to go.

I've found out it is an exhaust gasket for standard pipes.
The one that fits in a recess in the down pipe where it connects to the flange on the barrel.
I wondered why there wasn't a gasket fitted to mine when I dismantled it. There was all along but I didn't realise. I was expecting a TS1 type gasket.
