Hi, I just put new rubber on the 1930 rear motor mounts. Would like to know how tight to make the castle nuts. Is it just enough to get the cotter pins in, or tighten them down. Thanks in advance, Gary

Snug, not loose and not tight.

Sounds about right. Agree.

As long as you have the spacers installed I don't see why you can't snug them down tight.

I agree, that's what the spacers are there for.
