When trialling we used to use the top and bottom rubbers of the later rubber mounts with long bolts and locknuts at the rear and longer bolts bottomed out at the front.

At the rear, did you sit the crankcase on one rubber washer with another above the mounting flange, the whole nipped up by a through-bolt with a nylock nut to sent the squash "just so"?
When you say "bottomed out at the front" were the bolts nipped up, or just left loose to act as a form of "location stud"?
