made him a Hyde style mount, but I increased the diameter of the isolator. The
ply plate was 83 mm, then you add two layers of inner tube to that...I cant tell
you the overall diameter..cant remember right now.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

friend CNC'd a new backplate and mounted a spare OS 140 pump to
this new backplate. I believe the machinist charges 100 Aussie dollars for
the backplates or 2 cases of "Carlton Crown Lager" (hehehehe...the good old
'universal currency'!)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=788353020-06082004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> Which Hyde mount should I use, and do you know
where I can order a Mueller header? At this point I am inclined to go with a
OS 160 because I can buy the engine, pipe, header and half the mount for the
same money as an OS 140. I think the weight penalty will be 4 - 6 oz but with
the power loading I don't think it will matter al that much. What do you
think?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Re: OS 160 soft mount question<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P>Yes, in the pattern community Hyde mounts could be considered the best
option. My personal recommendation is: do NOT hard mount the
engine. There are other options there, but the Hyde
mount could be the best option for your particular
situation. Note: I am not sponsored by Mr. Hyde.</P>
