My 782 had one of those left. The other three were MIA. Upon installation of the new spacers/bolts, the threads were loctited to prevent future issues.

Very surprised they didn't rubber.

Why? The twin cylinder engines are VERY smooth compared to a single No need for them to be rubber.

Maybe so that when the bolts come loose, those tiny mounts don't gouge their way into the oil pan/crankcase. One of mine in a 782 had cut a groove into the engine. I used 1/2" nuts instead of those factory motor mounts to distribute the load over a greater surface area. The height was off slightly, but it had to be better than with one mount nested into the engine like it was.
The engine was removed when I bought it, so I have no concept of the use/abuse that allowed this to happen.
Sorry if I sound harsh. I'm still a little shocked and bitter about it.
