Wrong Parts to Repair a Spool Mount?

One trick I used thanks to an old popular hotrodding or car craft. Is to fill open spaces in new inserts with right stuff or permatex ultra black to make them last longer. I did it and have mine going strong 10+ years! My motor is a mild 360 than has been thrashed and mounts hold well.

Yes, you only have to do the bottom side since that is where the weight is. You can even drive in an appropriate size wooden dowl rod and do the same thing.
