Title: Cracked it!

Or rather, i HAVEN'T cracked it, the engine mounts are still in one piece after a 5 minute run :D

WOOT! (http://www.jestersltd.com/pics/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=1)

I'm going to start clearing the rubble from the floor and start on some doors next. It's a 'touch' loud. :eek:

These 1800rpm engine are mental :D

Famous last words :(

Ran it for half an hour this afternoon, it busted one of the floor bolts :(

Next step is a two layer timber base with rubber isolators between the layers, looks like Machine Mart is getting a visit tomorrow.

Bum.

sb118,

I highly recommend the heavy steel route.  Went with timbers, lots of flex, oil absorption etc.  Broke the mounting bolts. 

I now have 4" x 4" square tubing filled with concrete, on top of truck tire donut isolators held in place with 3/4" j bolts.  Smoother, quieter and it isn't going anywhere.
