Dear All,

I just came across an article on the Web describing how people in the USAlike Bob Cox fitted a Commando engine into a F'bed whilst keeping the vibrations under control through isolastic mounts (hence no need to rebalance the Commando crankshaft).

I would like to do the same and am looking for the isolastic engine-gearbox plates and head-steady which are very specific and not easy to design andmake I imagine.

I've left a mail to Mike Haracourt who did that for Bob.

Have you heard of other examples in the UK, or of a source for those cradles and head-steady ?

Many thanks too for your global thoughts and recommendations about the idea.

Have a look at Ron Fraturrelli's web site www.nortoncommando.com as Ron has put a Commando engine into a featherbed frame with rubber mountings.

Merci beaucoup Anthony. It gives me another opportunity to get what I need, as I received an answer from the guy who made it for Bob Cox, Mike Haracourt, who is no longer able to provide the parts
