<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Find a bet that is bigger than the isolator in
all direction. Mine was for the blade drive on a riding mower. I
cut the pieces to the original dimentions using a scroll saw. The I
drilled the holes in the rubber with a small drill bit and worked my way up
to the right size. It takes SEVERAL times drilling with the correct
size drill bit to actually open the hole properly. The rubber will
keep trying to strech instead of letting the bit drill cleanly. Then,
mount as usual. I have used these home made isolator for about 20
flights with no sign of wear. Until that time they were cracking or
turning into gummy bears about 1 a day, so every 4 days of flying
required all 4 isolators to be replaced. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Strangly I never had this problem about 10
years ago. I do not know if they changed the rubber they were made
from, but the new rubber does not last like the old rubber did. Also
the ones for World Engines brand mounts work but are VERY hard and
stiff. They shook the plane terribly and had to be removed after 2
flights. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had the same thing happen. Even a
new set just purchased did the same thing. I ended up making my
own out of a belt for a riding mower. The belt was $10 and you
could probably make about 100 isolators out of it. The good thing
is it is designed to take the heat and be break resistant. The
cloth molded into it makes it almost impossible to tear. Just make
sure you cut the piece to shape and drill the holes accurately. I
used the home made isolators at the Triple Tree contest this year.
Give it a try. It seemed to have the damping as the priginal
isolators.</FONT></DIV>
