I really like the B&B Specialties mounts - nicely tooled aluminum parts, and just the right durometer rating on the bushings. I've got them on a Pica 1/5 T28 with a Brison 2.4 and on a Reids Quality Models "Nightmare" with a Brison 2.6.

Lee,
Try these...rasonably priced and I think the ones that T28Driver is talking about are anti-vibration mounts....

I have 3 planes I'm putting gas engines on that I decided I wanted to go with the stand-offs that look nicer. I'm just undecided because I need one to be 35mm Which in inches works out around 1.375" and the other is almost 1.75" Which I could combine 2 sets. For $25 I can order them custom length. With the wood ones I cut out of dowels I use washers to set off-set for thrust or any added distance.

The one you showed Beteos will work for the one and a great price. Thanks

I'm sold on Roger's at [link=http://www.forguesresearch.com]Forgues Research[/link]

He mills them to your exact length needed, can colorize them blue or red or send them natural, nd custom drills/taps the two ends... for insatnce 1/4-20 on one end and 10-32 on the other...

Lighter than having a full bolt through the whole thing (and long case hardened bolts are hard to find locally)

If I buy custom this is the guy I will order from... I have talked to him on the phone. $25.00 for a set plus shipping of $8 but if you order more then one set it's the one price for shipping.

What I didn't realize till your post is that he threads both ends and you can screw into and bolt down vs running a long bolt with a T nut. Thanks for the info. I can use the Wood dowels whish is the easy way out and who sees it when the cowels on, but have a couple planes I ould like to dress up. I use 1 1/8 dowel and using the smaller aluminum stand-offs gives me more room for hoses and things to get around.
