[NSRCA-discussion] Soft mount for OS .46AX?

[Dean Pappas]

Hi Tom,
It's quite light, and the Sport-Tabs mount is even lighter.
The rubber bits attach to four small aluminum tabs that tighten under the backplate screws.
These two mounts and the Sullivan backplate are probably the ones we should first be recommending to Sport folk
when they say they want to get quiet without spending big bucks.

Thanks for all the answers guys!  Matt, what you're describing sounds a
bit like the instructions that Bob Pastorello put together for a
PastoMount:

If your version doesn't require a nose ring, I'm interested!

Vince, I couldn't find a Hyde or Budd mount that fit.  I doubt either
one of them has idle time to make what would amount to a one off.  Now
if the list did a group Reactor build...  ;-)

Ron, you are right on - the mount I have on my Somethin' Extra is a
Sullivan backplate mount and not a K&B.  My first option may be to find
one of those.  The one on the Somethin' Extra has served well - and it
is a very light mount.

Dean, I'm going to take a look at the Dave Brown mount - it sounds just
a shade heavier but if it's in current production that sure beats the
Sullivan.
