<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>
