RE: SAP 180 (Syssa Performance)
Hmm... not sure how well your concept would work. Because the vibration force is rotational, seems that the round shape absorbs the vibrations more evenly.
If you're in a hurry, my suggestion would be just to make a good, solid firewall and hard mount it. I think this is what most of the guys are doing with the EF Extra. The SAP-180 seems to have a very well balanced crankshaft and has very low vibration levels compared to other engines in the class.
The main reason I am using a soft mount is that my engine is in a pattern plane, where noise is more of a concern. Also using the tuned pipe for quietness and a bit more torque for a higher-pitched prop.
