Motor mounting question

The NEMA 42 stepper motors on the X and Y axis my Bridgeport were
originally directly mounted to the end of the scews. The four
mounting screws for the motor were sleeved with neoprene (or nylon)
bushings) providing a little flexibility. Does anyone have an
opinion about whether I should change to flexible shaft couplings (or
are the existing mounts as good)?

Thanks and regards,
Jeff
