<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The back plate mount is quite easy to make. I made
one for a YS 60 in a Conquest I had a few years ago. It wasn't as pretty as the
commercial unit as it was square ( I didn't have a metal cutting band saw at the
time) but it did work. I found the rubber isolators locally at an appliance
repair supplier.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Tom,</DIV>

<DIV>I may have one of those old Sullivan soft mounts at home. I'll see if I
can find it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FWIW, I would think it would be easy to fabricate one of those. It is
nothing more than a flat piece of sheet metal with hole for the backplate
screws and holes for the 4 lord soft mounts.</DIV>
