FWIW my experience with a saloon with silvertop.
I originally fitted a stabiliser to reduce engine rotation under heavy
acceleration / deceleration as otherwise the carb airbox would hit the bulkhead
and the exhaust system would touch the tunnel or fuel tank. It required the
rubber bushes changing annually as those I had used were not up to the task.
During a rebuild a few years ago I resolved the situation by making stiffer
gearbox mounts and moving the engine forwards 5mm to improve clearance all
round. The original and new setups are visible in
http://quantumforum.proboards.com/thread/522/ pages 1 and 4 especially. I also
fitted a stainless braided flexible connector between the exhaust manifold and
the system which allowed firmer mounting of the system without stressing the
manifold.
Hope that's useful
Best regards
Bill

Hi Julian, I have an H4 with a 2.0 Silvertop without a top
stabiliser and have had no problems. I've recently bought a saloon with 2.0 L
Duratec badged engine and that does have a top stabiliser but was told the the
engine/gear box mountings were weak, so presumably that is why it needs a
stabiliser.RegardsRuss

Hi
The H4 has a stabilising bar from the chassis frame to the top of the engine.
It has just given up. I thought I'd just check to see if there was a chance
replacements might be available before having this remade.
The bushes are showing their age but not yet scrap. So I'd be interested in
replacing the whole lot if that is possible.
A vain hope I suspect, but worth a shot.
Thanks
Incidentally the hoses in my H4 were pretty poor and some bodged. A full
correct correct set was no longer available, one of the most complex shapes
being essentially custom. I had that one properly sorted so the moulds now
exist for it which makes it possible to source a complete set if anyone is
interested.
