According to Wyatt: rubber engine mountings were introduced on 22nd August 1933 (together with synchro box, modified head and stop/tail lamps) from chassis no: 179368.
Looks as if the modified rubber mountings were introduced when the Ruby was in July '34, as, on 1st December 1934, the sports engine is recorded as having mountings with larger sleeves and washers. However, it appears that on 3rd June 1935, further modifications to the engine mounting studs and bushes were introduced from chassis no: 224721.
Wyatt is silent on exactly what these mounting mods entailed.
