Rubber Body Insulator
I'm doing a S10 chassis conversion. For the body mounts I'm using the S10 style mount.
For the front core support I want use something. I have leftover one of the original AD body mounts that a piece of rubber. LMC sells a kit for 20 that includes it: http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/ca/full.aspx?Page=12 ...but I just want the rubber piece. I was thinking of just cutting the sidewall out of a tire. Any other ideas on material or where I could get it? |

Tsc tractor supply sells conveyor belt material. Thick , reinforced rubber.
I always keep old stuff, things like rear spring insulators, shock mount rubbers, maybe i hoard? |

Re: Rubber Body Insulator
I used high density rubber horse trailer flooring I got at a local farm supply store. 1/2" thick, cuts with a drywall blade. I used it for radiator and rear cab mounts. I had some 120 mil epdm roofing material for the bed mount and other misc stuff requiring a thinner material for isolation.

Re: Rubber Body Insulator
I'll second the conveyor belt material.
Call up a grain elevator, they may have some old material laying around. I'll second the tractor/trailer mudflap too. You can probably pick one up along the highway. |
