Tighten until they bottom out. The mounts are designed to be assembled that way. Use new bolts and those prevailing torque lock nuts.

It seems if I tighten too much it will reduce the capability of the mounts to absorb vibration. Too little and the mounts can move around on the frame. Can anyone provide some guidance? -Mark '87 Syncro Westfalia |
