Lord Mounts

Hi Everyone!
Installing a 0-320 after a complete overhaul. The old mounts are low time but they are 17 years old and the rubber is hard as a rock. They appear to be Barry mounts. I purchased new Lord mounts (For about a grand) from Vans and they came with no paperwork. Does anyone have torque specs or maybe an installation diagram? Couldn't find anything online for the Vans.
Thanks,
Kirk
 
Torque: Standard torque for the AN bolt used
Install:
-look at the rubber carefully. 4 pieces will be harder and thinner than the other larger softer ones.
-the thinner harder ones go on the back of the top and the front of the bottom. The thinner harder ones are designed to support the higher load of positive g's.

This clip is from the RV-8 plans. May be of some help. Note the notes and the stack-up of the hard and soft pieces of the rubber mounts, which is different between the top and bottom.
