Where can i get a piece of rubber like this?

I need to remake my motor mnts and need a solid, hard rubber NOT hollow as pictured.

 

Groucho,
That looks alot like the old front engine mount biscuits on a '57 chev.

Hockey puck? (no Don Rickles jokes here )

Some people have posted in the past about using hockey pucks for that style of motor mount rubber. Apparently if you freeze them you can drill a hole without too much problem.

 

I'd try McMaster Carr, you can chose your hardness, and I usually get the stuff I order from them overnight, even at standard shipping $.

 

Boat trailer roller , one roller will make a hole bunch of them

 

How thick?

 

1 3/8"

 

I dunno where to get that thing. But I do know that your green frog at Primer was beautiful! A highlight of the show for me.My girlfriend and I saw you on a surface road when we were on the freeway headed home, We could see that paint a mile away. Oh and Congrats on the third place ribbon too! P.S. I like the pipes white.

 

I have had good luck buying rubber and polyurethane stock like that from McMaster-Carr too. -Jeff

 

Not sure if you can find the precise thickness you need, but you may be able to stack some neoprene rubber - cut out with a hole saw - and get to where you want to go.

I used some 1" for rear motor mounts in my 50 Plymouth coupe, they worked fine.
Durometer (hardness) is about the same as factory supplied motor mount rubber.

If you go the neoprene rubber route, before you drill the center hole - usually 1/2", stick the hole sawn biscuits in the freezer overnight and have everything set up and ready to.

If you don't freeze the neoprene and drill it at room temp you'll have a torn out and too small center hole for the drill size used.

Whadda ya think about using UHMW? (Ultra High Molecular Weight)
I've been running a pair on my 32 for the last 6-7 years.
They damp vibration and work fine.

You can cut a biscuit out of this stuff with a hole saw and drill the center hole out with a regular drill at room temp.
UHMW is 70% stronger than Teflon and not as slick.

Here's a pic to give you an idea of how they look.
The aluminum load spreaders are not required, done for looks and because I thought they were needed, but after having the 455 Buick engine/trans sit on them for 7 months without marking them I'm sure a load spreader is not required.

UHMW also comes in various thicknesses.
The sizes in the pic are 1" for the 32 - black frame and either 3/4" or 1/2" on the bare framed 31.


I've found as well that some re-pro rubber biscuits are harder than others.
I believe Chassis Research in Iowa has the hardest ones.

 

i used 55-57 chevy motor mounts for my Plymouth there 2" dia. by 1" thick and very hard with a 7/16 hole in the middle. there 2.99 at autozone but make sure you ask for the "big" ones cause they have small ones too that go on top of the mount.

 

Check with a company called " Daystar" they make polyurethane bushings. I was converting a 1970 2wd truck to 4wd a few years ago and called them and they custom made me some bushings. Great service and not a bad price!

 

I'd say hockey puck as well.

 

that boat trailer roller idea is pure gold
why the hell havent i thought of that
thanks

 

speedway motors has something like that they use with there "HURST" engine mounts

 

anyone know the dimensions of a hockey puck?

 

California Industrial Rubber in Fresno has bulk rubber. There might be one in L.A.

 

I dont know if its the same size but i bought motor mounts from speedway

Is the bigger rubber solid, or have a hollowed out ring on the bigger end? See pic in #1

 

A hockey puck is 1" by 3"

last i checked this info was still good
Big rubber and elastomeric supplier
think it used to be called "Atlantic India Rubber Company"

 

Would a hockey puck be too stiff??

whole line of poly bushings, hope it helps, if not at least you can look at some cool stuff

 

Groucho, Those look like the aftermarket Early Ford Rubbers...

I got a set of N.O.S. Ford ones and they were solid ... Maybe you can locate some from one of the Ford Suppliers or maybe at the swap meet in a couple weeks.

 

It is solid... I used the ones from speedway for my hurst style mount... works great..

 

Could you fill the hole?? I mean in the motor mount !!

 

Check out the rear radius arm control bushings on a Ford Truck (twin I-beam). The bigger rubber one sure looks like it could be used as a motor mount cushion. The hole might be too big, but dont know if that would matter. It costs about $8 a kit for one side. Might be able to use the washers/cups for something too.
