Rubber isolation mounts for tactile, buttkicker, aura?

[super kermit]

Hi all,​

I am modifying a rig and wondering if anyone has looked here

http://www.alibaba.com/products/F0/rubber_isolation_mount/3.html

And which mounts?

 

[Carson79]

Stable rubber isolation mount
US $0.3-0.83 / Piece ( FOB Price)
3000 Pieces (Min. Order)

 

[Carson79]

These should do the job for you, and you don't need a minimum order of 3000
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOUNTABLE-RUBBER-SHOCK-ABSORBING-FOOT-75LB-BUTTKICKER-/250820165477
$7.99 each

buttkicker also has a selection of isolators http://www.buttkickergear.com/Rubber_Isolators_s/23.htm

McMaster-Carr also sells a pretty extensive line of Rubber Bumpers/Isolators.
I installed several of the 9306K14 on the bottom of my 80/20 rig.

Is the 80-20 tube easy to buy and work with? (just in case I want to go this way in the future)

Why not use one of those isolation mat / pad for washing machines? They are inexpensive and easy to get.

If you want rubber feet to go under a rig the Penn Elcom 9106 rubber feet from Parts Express are comparable to the Buttkicker ones, but for a fraction of the cost.

If you are fixing metal to metal, but want isolation you can use automotive bobbins - these are a rubber bobbin with an M6 or M8 thread welded to a washer which is bonded onto / into the rubber at each end - they are good for rubber mounting pedal sets. On cars these bobbins are used to isolate exhaust systems from the chassis / body.

I also recommend solid rubber doorstops - again a cheap, but effective option

Great and thank you.

Could I also use these to isolate the couch?

Shipping UPS $91.70

Ok that is a NO GO

They would be ideal for that purpose. Maybe you can source some locally - alternatively try rubber door stops - I have them under a couple of chairs and they cost £1 each from a local hardware store.

You have to put some time into learning about it.
It can get pretty involved, depending on what you want to do.
I suggest you visit their web site to get acquainted with their stuff.

There are some members 8020 rigs posted here in the hardware section.
InsideSimRacing, and RaceDepartment have members 8020 rig posted too.

It is the cost of shipping though
