Super Jet GPR/XLT 'sofa' engine mounts on Superjet

[Swanager]

I have read some people mention they are using 'sofa' engine mounts in their SJ's.

My OEM mounts have failed and I have some GPR (I think) mounts to hand.

can anyone advise if they will work? They are obviously beefier than the SJ ones, the bolt holes line up and heights are very close.

Thanks in advance.

I used them they sit a lil high I reamed out the bolt holes a bit to push them outward so the motor could be properly aligned

Just bringing this back up, I've read that some people ream out the bolt holes and others skim the base of the mount, If you want to skim the bottom of the mount it seems that there is virtually no meat to take off before you into the rubber???? Any ideas???

I prefer to elongate the holes in the base of the mount and use heavier washers rather than take any meat out of the mounting pad. I really don't think the pad is thick enough to get away with removing any material. I've seen and heard of the bedplate to pad bolts getting pulled hard enough to deform that pad to the point where the pad cracks or the bolts pull right out of the threads.
