Header Interference?

I have spool mounts with factory style rubber with the air gap sections in them.
They move quite a bit.
I pounded two pieces of 3/8 fuel line into each air gap on both mounts.
That kept rubber but firmed the mounts up so the motor doesn’t move around as much.
Worked great.
I taped the back side of the holes and filled a pair with 100% silcone caulk.It had the same effect.
