Hi, Try altering the angle of the mount, Instead of being upright lean the mounts over so they are in more of a shear mode which tends to soften their resistance. Fabricate a 'catch' plate for if they fail.

The gear box mounts are at about45 degrees, the rubber is really firm, the engine mounts are from a diesel one of them could use leaning over thouth,good point, thanks

When you say "cotton reel" do you mean like this shape?  |

Snow mobile ones are small and usually softer as their engines weigh less.
