I guess I am confused how the anti vibration mount works.  I thought their would be a layer of rubber between the posterior portion of the mount and  the fire wall.  But from looking through the pictures their is not.  And, what is the function of the outer side layer of rubber?  If the outer ring is solid wood, guess I don't see were the flex is coming from to take up the vibration.  Sounds like  you guys are getting good results with it thou.  I am just curious how the thing works.  From my untrained eye is appears that most of the vibration is reduced from the flex of the anterior ring mounts and then disappated through and to  the outer ring.   I tried the dubro anti vibration mount with my MT-35 but I don't think it was holding on to my right thrust in higher powered up lines.   I needed to do something with the MT-35 because the vibration was horrible.

Thank you for your help... this thread is packed full of great information and very little babble.  Awesome! I just wish I had the patience to sit down and read it thoroughly.  I know my question is probably answered somewhere in the thread... My AADD usually kicks in and I miss it.
