Engine mounting 1932 RN saloon

[David.H]

My 1932 RN saloon engine mountings are bolted directly to the chassis (without rubber pads).  When I first fitted the engine and subsequently, I bolt the rear mountings of the engine tight to the chassis, the front mountings I leave them loose (ie: finger tight  and then one turn less). This I was told minimises stress from the crankcase as the chassis twists (under duress).

What does the team think.

My RNs have the front nearside and rear offside bolts fitted with an 1/8" washer under these engine feet ever since I found how much the chassis twists in use.

Dave,
Are you saying that statically there was clearance between engine mount and chassis at these points?

My quandary is similar (but different!). My 32 AG engine has home (well) made flexible mountings -and a 4 speed box- This raises the nose of the engine & the top of the starting handle hole is too close to the nose & handle for my liking. The radiator shell was raised on several washers to allow for this, but this puts the bonnet nose up a bit too much for my liking.
I also find that the bottom radiator brackets do not meet the hole in the shell for the front fixing... a lot of unintended consequences I think!
