Matt and Bob,
Just obtained a custom vibration isolation mount for the Syssa. Actually it was plywood, and balsa yesterday morning. Made mostly from scraps I had laying around. I had to purchase a tube at a mower shop but it was only $11. I did two layers of rubber and it mad a really stiff mount. Instead of end grain balsa, I used 1/4 inch dense balsa sheet and cut the spacers. I put 8 bumper pieces between the disks to stiffen it up at idle. The only thing of concern is that the way I assembled the back plate I will need to watch the length of the firewall bolts. Guys, thanks for the motivation.
Looks great! Did you make sure and wash the rubber really well with soap and water first and with rubbing alcohol second? The release agent used on the rubber has to be removed completely in order for the rubber to stick long term
