Stick with those or replace them with new ones of the same type. have you check all the bolts, it should wobble a bit, as it's a bit of damping for the engine. If it's wobbling a lot, it either means something is loose, or the poly fronts/rubber rear mounts have failed.

I wouldn't go for solid mounts, as you need a small bit of damping for the torque the engine puts out.

I do have a bodge for the rear mounts but idealy they need new brackets makeing to take them. Chris C is running this setup with his own brackets.

In about a month I should have bolt in ploy rear mounts.

They don't fit without the new uprights, but tbh, the old pressed tin ones will fatigue with a poly mount *very* quickly anyway. Alignment is critical if you make new uprights though.
