seems to be a bit of wrong terminology going on here
vibra technics +bm etc are NOT solid mountings --just stiff rubber and that is what i would always suggest and uses as the complete kit from 1 maker
solid as in bolting engine +g/box in with no vibration absorbtion is only suitable for straight line drag racing --nothing else , and only for someone who is profoundly deaf--
I have pulled lower mounting out of g/box casing and also pulled lower mounting off the floor and that is with stiff rubber ones --
using solid i,m quite sure the failure rate of engine blocks ,gear casings,floor brackets etc would be very high
