Those resilient mounts under the gen are secondary. There are resilient mounts inside the cover too so it is double isolated. If memory serves...
Engines all set, mounts tapped and bolted and in their homes. Note on Stbd engine we relocated the oil filters up and aft a bit as they were too...
The new 9k gen is on the new foundation and being final connected. This sits aft of the Port Engine above the shaft log and seal. [ATTACH]
