Tote Gote BearKat motor plate question.??

[old shed finds]

Im hoping somebody will know about this BearKat motor plate,Richard or Davis...

What the heck goes in the large circle on all 4 corners and how would we install them?
My guess is 4 large rubber mounts?

The motor plate does not come out of the bike ?
Saturday Im going to grab a older 70s Briggs 7hp but now need to get this problem resolve. ..

It has always puzzled me how Bearkat and Twister assembled the rubber motor mounts. I haven't built one myself, But I imagine they found a way to weld the parts without burning the rubber isolators.

Thanks Richard. That pic is worth a million bucks... A guideline of rubber I need to look for.

But its a start...

while I salute Bearkat for their efforts in sound and vibration technology... the system is un necessary.... I flat plated mine and ended up with endless motor / size options... then again, I'm only considered a purest when the bike is too cherry to go any other direction.. mcmaster carr or grainger may have your rubber insulators...

I just replace the motor mounts on my Bearkat Twister, I found these rubber bushing from an old Ford were the closest thing to fit, I still had to grind them down a bit on my grinding wheel. https://www.truckspring.com/products/Leaf-Spring-Bushing-Harris-Ford__HB-396.aspx

This is my solution to replacing rubber engine mounts .
