    Could try customizing an engine dampener (i think thats what it is called).

    I have problems with breaking mounts too. The dampener can help resist some of the rotational flex that the engine places on the mounts. Seen a few VS commos with them, was thinking of fashioning one up myself in the near future.

    If i remember correctly, drifters rig up this sort of system to reduce engine vibration and flex

    Could also try customizing solid mounts? but the vibes through the chassis would be huge i would say
    Hit me up with some reputation points if i've helped you out! (Star in the bottom left!) Cheers!

    i know BNT here in NZ can re-fabricate your old mounts using urethane instead of the standard rubber, not cheap but. maybe some place can do the same in aussie.
