Default HOW TO INSTALL RSS MOTOR MOUNTS?

I have used search and search on GOOGLE to no avail, but can only find how to replace the stock one or the 964 RS ones.


The reason I can not use the 964RS instructions is that it has many different washers etc, but my RSS mounts only has a long bolt going into the RSS mount.


This bolt can be turned by my hand and want to know if I am supposed to tighten it in fully or if there is a certain length I need out?


What would stop this from slowly unscrewing it self loose or if you tighten it all the way in that it just lock up in there ?


Does any one know of where I can get a DIY for these mounts or at least some advice from someone that has done it already?


It looks pretty simple and straight forward, but would hate for that long bolt to un tighten because I forgot to do something.


Thanks in advance for any help!

pretty easy install.
1 insert the long bolt into the mount hand tight
2 mount the motor mount into the engine bay and ensure the square at the bottom side of the mount is in the square in the engine frame. ( i had to slightly file the torque solutions mounts at the square to get a proper fit)
3 tighten the 2 upper mount bolts into the engine frame.
4 tighten the long bolt to 66 ft/lbs.

done!

That is exactly what I was looking for!!
With the already listed step by step instructions and your specific for my RSS motor mounts instructions this should be very easy!

Thanks!

You cant tighten to 66 ft/lbs. It spins at less than that
