Grrr. Homemade motor mounts

Here is my current homemade motor mount project:

I used a reciprocating saw to get all the rubber out. Works very well. I
want to use McMaster-Carr 94 shore urethane to fill up the whole thing, but
I had some 3M Window weld laying around so I decided to try that instead for
the dogbone. No pics of that, but it did not turn out well. With the window
weld it is hard to make a uniform fill with that much material. To fill in
mounts with rubber still in them it's perfect- but to fill in the complete
space of the mount it is difficult. I will dig all the material out of my
dogbone and try the window weld one more time. If that doesn't pan out I
will buy some 94 shore.
