Richard at PMO condemns the use of solid mounts.

Although there is performance loss with carburetors there is a more important issue to deal with.
Solid mounts are generally used to enhance chassis stiffness but that theoretical performance enhancement is greatly diminished when you consider the fatigue factor the excessive vibration /noise creates on the driver.

The vibration is also responsible for incredible amounts of chassis fatigue. Everything shakes and everything breaks.
