Default solid differential mounts?

hi guys!! i just want to know if its ok to fabricate the differential mounts by using solid rubber?? just like what we are doing on our drag cars here we fab the engine mounts with solid rubber . is it ok?? or should i stick with the oem diff mounts?? if i make my diff mount solid can it break my differential?? or will it be more safer for the differential if the mount is solid. by the way im not tracking the car.. but driving it a bit hard on the roads speacially on the mountain curves. what will i benefit if i make my differential mounts solid?? by doing this so do i also have to replace my engine mounts with stiffer ones like spoon or can i stick with the oem engine and tranny mount?? thanks!!

You can add an ETD to aid the engine mounts and it will also help prolong there life.
I did do a set of one off diff mounts for a rear I built for Stage 6 in Florida.
The setup is going in a RHD UK car with custom turbo






All you need is liquid urethane

I will not be doing another set sorry, please don't ask
