Re: Re: 1952 Paris built Normale RSJ 834

Hi Chris thanks for the detailed reply.
Your ideas are valid when using the original springs because they allow the engine to rise due to having a cup rather than a solid bolted option. The rubber mounts are bolted to the body and the engine is bolted to them this means the engine cannot lift. The mounts on the gearbox end need to be in good condition because they will do extra work. The actual metal engine brackets are up to the job but do need to be checked for any signs of stress fractures.
By the way most comments I make are said with humour in mind.
