All I can say at this point is if you clean - prep the parts, follow product directions and allow it to cure, Liquid Nails will work.
Of the six, none have failed yet.

I am experimenting with Urethane of a hardness between 60 and 90, as alternative to the high cost or lack of new rubber parts.

Rubber Hardness Chart

The durometer chart below gives you an idea of rubber hardness by application.

a. Shore 20A = Rubber Band
b. Shore 40A = Pencil Eraser
c. Shore 60A = Car Tire Tread
d. Shore 70A = Running Shoe Sole
e. Shore 80A = Leather Belt
f. Shore 100A = Shopping Cart Wheel

All my home-made Citroen DS21 motor mounts are made of 75 durometer material. No problems after 4 years
