Europa-List: Compressing Rubber Mounts

[Martin Tuck <MJKTuck@cs.com>]

I'm busy rehanging the engine with fresh rubber mounts.

Is there an easier way of compressing the rubber mounts such that you 
can get the threads of each bolt to show through enough to put the 
washers and nut on?

When I installed the engine first time round I seem to remember 
struggling with some kind of clamp but I can't remember what I did now. 
I figured this must be a common problem so perhaps I've missed a trick.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
