Floppy Gauge Mounts - Redux (or part II)

[quazi-moto]

I found a company in Georgia called AV Products Inc. (www.avproductsinc.com) that makes a plethora of rubber anti-vibration mounts. They carry a bobbin style mount that would be ideal for the V11 gauge mounts. I made an inquiry and they directed me to McMaster-Carr since I was only ordering a few rubber mounts. The McMaster items are similar, but not exactly the same dimensionally. I settled for three mounts of the same height as stock, but a little bigger diameter. They can be ordered in either natural rubber or neoprene. I'm going to start with the neoprene and see how they hold up. The mounts have an M6x1 male stud on the bottom and M6x1 female thread on top. The bigger diameter mount might result in a tight fit, but I'll find out for certain when the mounts arrive. The AV items would have been sized perfectly, but they didn't seem interested in filling such a small order. I'll post my findings down the road a bit.
