Does anyone know what the metal shim under each motor mount is there for? Is there any reason to replace it when changing out the mounts?

Without pictures, the only metal shim I can think about is what I thought was a heat shield.

Pictures?

Yeah, your right. It is the heat shields. I found that out a little while ago. I just don't really see what those little sheilds would block.
