I've read many threads on here about doing the front motor/trans mount, but I have a few questions about it.

Since many people on here have done it, I just want to make sure I get it done correctly.

Okay, I have a boat roller with the same exact dimensions as 3 hockey pucks with a 1/2" hole. I also have a 8x1/2" bolt that is only threaded on the bottom.

I want to have it so there is barely any vibrations, is this setup correct?

From top to bottom with the bolt head on bottom

Nyloc Nut
Mechanical Nut
Small stack of 1" Outer Diameter washers?
[Mount Bracket]
.75" stack of 2" Outer Diameter washers?
3" Boat Roller
[Subframe]
Sway Bar Bushing
1" washer?
Bolt head

Is that right, or am I missing anything?

Are my washer sizes correct?

Does the inner diameter of the washers have to be 1/2" just like the size of the bolt or can the inner diameter be larger? If so, how much larger?

Should I use a few neoprene or rubber washers somewhere in there?

Where can I get a sway bar bushing, and do they come with a 1/2" inner diameter? Or can I substitute the bushing for something else?


Please feel free to correct me anywhere, I'm fairly new with this stuff. Advice is greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I get it right.
