Jon Laughton Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Some time ago I purchased some anti-vibration mounting bolts with large rubber inserts & metal washers for installation in the firewalls for IC engines of different sizes from Apacheaviation.co.uk. There no longer seems to be a functioning website with that address... Does anyone know what happened to them - did they change their name or have they stopped ttrading? Also where is it possible to source these types of mounts...? (I am aware that Dubro make complete metal mounts with rubber anti vibration fittings attached but that is not what I was looking for) Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Williams Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Jon - SLEC bought the Apache Aviation kits a couple of years ago when Mike retired but until fairly recently the Apache website was still running and Mike was still selling the anti-vibration mounts through it. Don't know if his email at [email protected] is still working but worth a try. Alternatively, the nice chaps at SLEC may be able to help.

Stevo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Interesting... I'm after a Dubro Quiet mount, for a Laser 70. Cant find any dimensions anywhere on how long the mounting arms are... just overall dimensions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight1 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Rawl nuts is a trade name for well nuts. Well nuts are not particularly strong (but strong enough for our application), but are useful for sealing holes and/or isolating vibrations. i have used this method for years and is very good and cheep solution, I have also used the 'apache ' one's and they have worked well too Edited By flight1 on 31/01/2015 11:24:15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrman Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Stevo, I only have the 120 size Dubro Quiet mounts ( Cat # 688) which measure a fraction over 3" from the front face of the washer to the end of the arm. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well Nuts? Where's Sid James when you need him!!! Decided upon M4 x 14mm Well nuts, 10 for £4 on eBay. Also Some rubber washers, £1.60 for 10, again eBay. So, for under 1/2 price compared to 'another vendor' I get over double the number! Engine mounts is... For the Laser, as it's a narrow body (35mm)but the bearers need to be lllooonnnggg...! Edited By Stevo on 01/02/2015 16:48:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
