Rubber biscuit motor mounts
How tight should these motor mounts be?
Completely tight or just compress the rubber some?
Thanks for any assistance with this.

You don't want them so tight they totally compress the rubber, no cushioning then. I'd say a general rule would be to tighten it enough to get 1/4 to 1/3 compression of the bushing... I always use a lock nut on the bolt because they aren't completely tight.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

When you say lock nut, are you referring to a nylock? That's what I used and I can still turn the nut, so I know it's not totally compressed.

Yeah, a nylock is ok. Just want something on there so the nut doesn't back off.
