Looking for help on the frame, if anyone has hints, I'd appreciate it.

First question: There are 10 rubber mounts, or cushions, that are basically under the cockpit. (actually one was missing, but I can see the imprint). However, there appears to be other holes in the frame surfuce for more of them. Where there more than 10? or where there as many as required to insulate the floor boards from the frame?

Second question: has any one ever tried an insulating shield above the muffler to reduce floor board heat? Obviously not "correct", but it seems a shield of some type wouldn't interfere with anything.

Well, have to rent a steam cleaner this weekend, and start to dig thru the grime!
