Well i will measure on mine that I used the original bottoms on, the snubber heights seem to be about right, but I haven't measured them. I was thinking that the one side of your rail looks to be bent upward, now thats just looking and comparing to my memory, lol for whats thats worth. I will check mine again to see if I see any upward swing in the end of the rail. I will check the snubber height on that same machine too. I believe the originals are pretty soft, stands to reason that the softer they are the lighter vibrations that can be absorbed rather than passed into he frame. When you look at the load ratings of the "Versa" mounts, keep in mind that the rating would be (X4), being the engine weight is distributed across the 4 mouning points, So, say a 40 pound rated mount, using 4 pieces in theary could support 160#'s. Like I said before I have been contemplating getting these and some additional Iso washers to build up a mount to get me the results I want. Then, after seeing the dofference the originals made in the 1450, the questions becomes, experiment or bite the bullet and go originals. However, my understanding is that the new style original design are slightly harder than the 1st generation style.
