mount problem

[BRIAN E. SEAS]

how we doing in the 6x6 world ? I was wondering if maybe someone has done a recent resto on a Thunderchief or something similar? My problem is I don't know exactly how this one is supposed to look for it was burned out with a torch to modify for the Kohler 309 that was in it when I got it. It also was not installed so it doesn't show me anything! This thing was pretty well torn apart when I got it. THANKS TO WHOMEVER CAN BRIAN E.SEAS

Have you looked through the photo gallery? There are lots of Attex pictures in there but I don't know if there is one of what you are looking for. Just a thought. Welcome to the site by the way.

Hey, Brian;

Here's a few pictures of the mount. 'hope they help.

Don: Have you had to replace any of the rubber mounts before, and if so do you know of a good source for good quality mounts. (As opposed to buying old mounts that will be at least partly worn)
Thanks.

(Posting this here in case Brian or anyone else also needs them)

I haven't found a good source for the rubber mounts, but haven't really needed to (yet). So far I've been lucky enough to have spares.

Hey Mike Thanks For The Welcome To The Site So Far It's Been Extremely Informative Seems To Be A Great Bunch Of Guys On This Site ,thats A Major Plus For A Newbie! And Don Thanks For Pictures Of The Mounts They Helped Alot! Thanks Again!

Here is a link that may help and some info: vibration control rubber.
McMaster-Carr

This is rated by a durometer: This tells the stiffness of the material. If you look up the info you will see the chart. Hope this helps. Just pick your product. These can be ordered in sticks of different diameters and cut to the right thickness.

Composition
Rubber: Good for shock absorption, insulation, and sealing because it is strong, stretches, and bounces back.
Foam: A rubber or plastic that is not completely solid. Contains cells of air, making it very lightweight and good for gasketing, sealing, and cushioning applications.
Material — Material comparison chart
Neoprene Rubber and Foam Rubber
Offers good weatherability and resistance to abrasion even with rough handling. Also known as chloroprene.

Buna-N Rubber and Foam Rubber
Has an ideal blend of oil and solvent resistance when compared to other materials, but is not as weather resistant. Also known as nitrile, acrylonitrile, and NBR.

Silicone Rubber and Foam Rubber
Offers good flexibility and resistance to ozone, sunlight, and oxidation, and is a very good electrical insulator. Also known as polysiloxane.
Polyurethane and Polyurethane Foam
Bridges the gap between rubber and plastics. Has good vibration damping and shock absorption. Compared to rubber, it has better abrasion, cut, and tear resistance. Compared to plastics, it has better impact resistance and is not as brittle because of its elasticity. Commonly used for cutting surfaces, cushions, and bumpers.

EPDM Rubber and Foam Rubber
A perfect choice for outdoor use because of its excellent weatherability. Also known as ethylene-propylene-diene monomer.

Viton Rubber and Foam Rubber
Ideal for use in harsh and corrosive environments, with exceptional resistance to heat, aging, weather, ozone, oxygen, and sunlight, as well as a broad range of fuels, solvents, and chemicals. It is also more flame resistant than other rubbers. Often designated as FKM.
Natural Latex Rubber and Foam Rubber
This ultra-elastic natural rubber (NR) offers the best combination of strength and stretchability. It also provides exceptional tear resistance.

Santoprene Rubber and Foam Rubber
This thermoplastic rubber combines the characteristics of rubber and plastic to produce a material that offers excellent weatherability and chemical resistance.

Polyethylene Foam
Ideal for packaging and insulating, this material (also known as Ethafoam) is flexible and conformable, and has excellent chemical and moisture resistance.
Durometer
Durometer is the international standard for measuring the hardness of rubber, plastic, and most nonmetallic materials. The hardness of a material is its resistance to surface penetration. Harder materials have more wear resistance, but they are also less flexible. Note that an object may fall within more than one scale. For example, a typical shoe heel is 95 Shore OO, 70 Shore A, and 22 Shore D durometer.

Foam Structure
Open Cell: Each cell is open, which means each cell connects to another, allowing water, gas, and air to pass through.
Closed Cell: Each cell is completely closed, restricting air, water, and gas from passing through.
Foam Firmness

Foam Firmness Rating Scale
Firmness is measured by compression force (% deflection), which is the amount of pressure required to compress foam to a given percentage of its thickness. It's measured in pounds per square inch (psi). The higher the psi value, the firmer the foam. Firmness is not a measure of how quickly foam will recover after compression.
Very Soft | Extra Soft | Firm
Compression Recovery
Refers to the ability of material to return to its original shape after it's been compressed.
Excellent | Good | Fair | Not Rated
Color
Depending on material selected color may vary in shade.
Black | Gray | Orange-Red | Amber | White
Finish

Abrasion Resistant
A material's ability to withstand scraping and wear caused by friction with another surface or material.

Tear Resistant
A material's ability to resist tearing when being pulled or separated by force.

Impact Resistant
A material's ability to withstand fracture or stress or by heavy loads.
Weather Resistant
A material's ability to withstand exposure to ultraviolet light, humidity, temperature, rain, snow, wind, and other elements.
