Dan,
That mounting stuff is obliquely referenced without pictures in
the BL parts catalog reprint. It's shown as fitting post G-AN5-146370 to
154100 USA and Canada only. I am pretty sure it was another "safety" item
for engine and transmission restraint in case of full frontal collision. I
suppose it's reasonable to want extra restraint should the rubber clad
mounts come apart in an accident. The 1500 Midfires had a cable restraint
system.
