<DIV>I have used the 1"x3/4" rubber isolators with the 1/4-20 stud, in a 1/3rd scale job, isolating a BME102cc twin and that worked pretty well. Five of these large isolators were enough for the large gassie. Two or three of same would work fine for the 25-30 cc engines we run in Pattern. The large isolators are about 1 oz each but have at least 4X the shear strength of the 5/8" isolators with the 8-32 stud.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately, this is where CRS disease comes in--I'll be darned if I can remember. Seems like we got the back plates one place and the mounts another(this was the '80s). All the Lord mounts are, are rubber isolators of varying durometers with a stud on one side and a plate to accept a screw on the other all molded in--I think Dave Brown(or someone) uses them on the pipe mounts. Again, it seems like Sullivan bought the rights to the back plate mounting--But there's really no reason you couldn't use the standard mounts with them and a nose ring. As I think about it with the larger fuses, there would be adequate space to spread them out to eliminate the nose ring altogether as we did back then. The engine DID move around a bit--but didn't seem to affect it in the air--or there is the VERY strong possibility I wasn't good enough to notice..... Seems like they were a teensy bit tricky when installing the firewall. I've still got one of Frack's IVs, a Summit 3, and a Goldberg Ultimate with that set-up with no nose rings;all piped OS REs or Hannos and they are all still quiet, solid airplanes. </FONT></DIV>
