Furhter to Ron`s posting on rubber blocks, I have been trying without much
sucess todate to locate a source of rubber with high hysteresis. There are
special versions of engine/anti-vibration mounts available which use "HD
silicone"; which has vastly improved internal damping over the rubbers commonly
used in such applications. These are sourced from somewhere in the States, so I
haven` yet been able to get any data on the polymer used. But it indicates an
avenue worth researching.
Is anyone else looking (or already looked) into this? Or am I just wasting my
time?
Further thoughts please.
