[NSRCA-discussion] Engine mount isolators

[Paul LaChance]

Del,

I remember replacing them and even having a couple shear, but these got like chewing gum and literally disolved.  I am sure it was from getting fuel soaked and sitting.  LOL  Thanks again for the help.

Paul

  I have been using those mounts and isolators for years and have always had to replace them routinely. Even after long periods of sitting and not flying. Exposure to fuel spray increases their failure from what I have observed.
