Long-EZ. If this thing works, maybe I'll
manufacture them

Perry, I'll take one!

Paul, I see only three in the top two mounts. Is the cross bracing needed here too?

Bob

I see them in the rear view.
The cross bracing is actually performed by the ridgid attachment of
the tubes to the engine. I mentioned this in my note to Ken.
If rubber were used in these attachments cross bracing whould 
be ineffective in this design as well. Basically what happens
is the tubes become part of the engine forming an overall ridgid
structure.
