<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>
