Trying to find some rubber motor mounts

[dtut]

Sure,

Give me a couple of days - they're in storage. The Scott motor itself is mounted horizontally and not suspended. There is a drive shaft from the speed selector/adjuster to a transfer case. Those little rubber things are on either end of the drive shaft as isolators.

This link has a picture. http://home.windstream.net/wbittle1/sct710.htm

I used washers for the sink valves, ACE hardware has a good selection of parts you can use to make something. :thmbsp:

I'm the first one to finagle a fix together, but that said as Sam pointed out
if one can get as close as the original at very reasonable cost thats
a no brainier.

The orange/white coded neoprene mounts are the original parts. I've never seen these from any other manufacturer, and distribution is pretty limited, so I'm assuming that this is the same company that made them 58 years ago, or at least a successor. After all, Lord still makes the isolation mounts used in the Rek-O-Kut and Empire tables after 60+ years. The silicone parts are simply an improvement.

Sam,

These photos show the kluge I used on a Gray 33-H, but since you've found a source for the real deal, maybe nobody else will have to do this. The Gray motor on the 33-H is hung the same way as the motor in the photo in #1 - three on top and a fourth underneath.

This table has a bearing problem I haven't been able to sort out and it's way down the project list, but it's good to know that the genuine mounts are available when I get around to it.

Love this thread. As I am a lover of Gray and Fairchild equipment. Hope the restoration goes great.

Got some samples in today. One of the silicone versions (7110-1.0) that are supposed to have about 60% greater damping than the neoprene versions fits perfectly and is almost exactly as compressible as a good original.

Can you tell me where to get these or can I buy some of yours?

I’ll see if I have enough of the silicone mounts left. Drop me a PM.
