depaends what u mean by rs500?
The 500 race cars all used the 909 solid weld in engine mounts (cant see how u could use them on anything other than a cosworth!)
The rs500 road cars used standard engine mounts like the saf cosworth, 3 doors and escos.
However many have been uprated 2 solid mounts (there are loads of companys who sell them) so maby thats what u have?

The way I see it though is that can still happen, plus you have the added issue of keeping both sides of the stud proper tight.
