I think the "well nuts" are a fine idea. I used simple grommets out of my grommet kit to give my panel some cushion, but as Mark said, A well balanced engine kind of negates the vibration that tends to kill instruments. The biggest issue in the past calling for the use of rubber mounting bushings in aircraft was to protect the jeweled bearings in the mechanical gyros. Not many of us use mechanical gyros anymore. Never-the-less, I like having a little cushion or movement available for the panel. Maybe I'm just too old school to give it up. -Jeff Scott Arkansas Ozarks _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
