[s-cars] New motor mounts

[Sean Douglas]

Yes, that can be done, but the gap between the poly mount and the
bracket is the same as stock, about 8 mm above and below. What others
have done was to find a suitable diameter tube of rubber and wrap it
around it effectively reducing the gap and movement. Over on AudiWorld,
they are using a rubber PVC coupling or even an old piece of the
Michelin man hose!
