em3 hole too big for mounts?

[dan_g8]

hi, my plan was to use a pair of rover rubber mounts for my engine. i have just spotted in the book that the hole in em3 is 13mm and the size of the stud in the engine rubber is only 10 mm. will this be a problem or is it ok for the hole to be 3mm too big?

not to worry, ive welded the holes back up and re drilled them

Yes it would have matterd as over time the engine would wear away the surface and move arround... It would get worse and worse eventualy opening the 13mm more and more...

thanks TT, i thought it would. i've seen lots of posts with people using the mounts but not read that the plate had to be modified. thought worth asking.
