Tbh, you would have been fine with the oem design new mount (this would have solved the problems that the torn old one caused) no need to fill it. Sikaflex fill would have restored your original torn one.
Do as Vtecmec suggested and ensure all mounts slackened / re-torqued correctly then if still not happy, go back to a new original style mount. (you could probably sell the sikaflexed one on here to get some money back?)

I've asked Jason to order another for me, which we'll get in the next two or three days. I can't be bothered faffing around with it anymore.
@wurlycorner, that's a good idea but I'd like to alter the deal a little.
Once Jason's taken it off, I'll send it to anyone who wants it, free of charge and I'll pay the postage, on the condition that they donate twenty quid to Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted via @bennyboy. I'll even clean it up in the usual Cuthbert stylee, and it will of course be bubblewrapped till it hurts.
First person to baggsie it, can have it with my compliments. ;)

Well, considering the generous advice that's always been given to me, it's just a small token that may help someone out.

That's very kind of you @simonc, thanks very much for remembering the cause. :)
My personal fundraising page for the Hospice ended a while back, but I'm pretty sure you can still donate via their own website: http://www.stfrancis.org.uk/donate

You're welcome Ben ;) . As it's the Raya holiday, it might not be removed for another week. But the offer's there for anyone who wants it.
