Why weld it? Our TiiCo engine was floating around on too soft mounts also. Basically we immobilized all 3 by cutting hard rubber to fit in the gaps of the mounts, then jamming it in. The rubber came from a replacement boat trailer roller gotten at a marine store. If you weld, it's very likely that you'll create a direct path to the interior for big vibrations. Also, wouldn't welding burn the rubber that's already in the mounts?
