I dropped by Potter's place this afternoon, and this exact topic just 
happened to come up in conversation.  Mike runs the Motorsport rear trans
mount in his Mk1, and says the vibration is minimal and that it's totally
comfortable to drive - but - his motor is balanced.  He says that balanced
motors do very well with them, whereas "junkyard" motors (like mine!) that
aren't rebuilt and balanced tend to do poorly to VERY poorly with them.
Seems logical..
