The rubber bushings in our lower cowling attach brackets are shot.   These are pressed-in hard rubber with a small brass tube center that the attach  pin with a T-tip secures it to the U-shaped bracket on the firewall.  Doug  has the screw-in type, but they are slightly larger and meant for later models  that have a threaded housing.  Anyone had luck finding or making a workable  substitute?

  

 Thanks, Dave



Start the year off right.  Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

 I had the same problem.  Still do, but I used a rubber hose cut  very short.  Sorry I can't remember the size.  Its ID fit the brass  tube center and OD went into the bracket.  Not perfect and it will not last  forever, but it got the job done.

 I make these out of a 1/2" thick rubber block, and size them to donut shape so they will hold inside the fitting. Rather than a brass sleeve, I use a piece of steel bushing stock, pressed in. To install into the mount, lube the donut and press in sideways at first and then use a clamp to squeeze between two plates on either side of the mount.

  

 If I get a chance I'll make a batch and put 'em up on my website but I think I'm out of bushing stock.
