Default Rubber side pipe mount?

Does anyone offer a purpose built rubber mount that fits between the side pipe mounting pad and the frame? A round disc type motor mount 1/2" to 3/4" thick and a stud on each side would work great.

There is a local rubber company here in town that carries them. I don't recall the price, but it wasn't outrageous.

Undy,

I went to my local truck spring rebuild shop & looked thru their inventory of large rear spring rubber bushings untill I found 1 the O.D. & I.D. I wanted.
Took it home & sliced off 3/4" spacers from it. They have worked great for 3 years--15000 miles.
You don't need special silicone etc. material, they don't get hot enough to require it.

Some chunks of old car tire sidewall provide some free padding...

Mr Google is my friend...

http://www.mfgsupply.com/m/c/MM-101C.html?id=8v7665if in my case..

http://www.mfgsupply.com/SnowMounts....on_id=8v7665if for others with different spacing requirements.

A bolt through a rubber bushing, end link or piece of tire still has a metal to metal link, hence the through bolt. I wanted 100% isolation as these low cost units have.. I'll buy 4 and squirrel them away for future isolator failures.

The small truck mounted generators and refrig units have vibration isolator mounts. Unconnected threaded studs sticking out of rubber cylinder. Try a Kubota deisel dealer.
