Hi
I did this job a few weeks ago. Mine are fixed with castellated nuts and split pins, so I just did them up until I could get a split pin through. Sounds easy but it's a real faff as impossible to see without a mirror. At this setting the uppermost rubbers are squashed out to a slight barrel shape, but not excessively. My upper washers are the same diameter as the uncompressed top rubbers.
Nylocs would be another possibility if you don't mind their appearance
I don't think there is supposed to be nearly as much vibrational movement in these mounts as modern types give, maybe only a millimetre or so. Tugging the engine by hand gives no noticable movement. Still a step up from solid mounts though !
