You could make a special device to go on the end of a C-clamp...a U-
shaped foot that would be wide enough to allow for squeezing the
rubber, and get the nut started. Or just grind a slot in the end of
a C-clamp. Think along these lines and you'll come up with something.

Anyone have trouble getting the rubber lord mount grommets to
compress a little to start the engine mount bolts?
Have a 912 and trying to get the ring mount attached to the engine
mount. When I get all the 'stuff' in line, there aren't any
threads sticking out to start the castle nut. I can compress a
little and get a glimpse of a thread but with the metal bushing
inside, can't seem to get the nuts started.
Is there a secret trick or tool for 'pre-compressing' the lords to
get threads out?
And yes, I am using the proper bolts and all.
Thanks!
Wade

Sounds like your bolts might be to short, I replaced mine and did not have to compress them to fit! Check your bolt length.

If you will get some longer bolts, even hardware variety will do, and
tighten them up one good time you will probably be able to use the correct
bolts then. That's what I had to do.
