For the FAM's to work correctly, they can not be over tightened or they will not work.


What I do is to replace the course thread thru bolts with fine thread and I use nylon inserted self locking nuts.


I tighten each bolt just to the point the flat washer under the head of the bolt will not turn, then I tighten about another 1/4 turn.


Drive the car and if the clutch does not chatter, it is fine. If the clutch chatters, tighten each bolt another 1/4 turn.


The mounts must be soft to work and not over tightened to the point where the rubber is all compressed.


The softer, the better.


I feel the rear mount on the universal housing clamp is necessary but the FAM front mount is not as good as the original design.


My experience,
