Just messing around, working on a more stock version with the rubber isolator too. 1/4" 7075, three 3mm flat sockets hold the two pieces together: ![](https://i.ibb.co/VxBySKy/exbrac.jpg) Waiting on some THICK carbon fiber to get here, Hmm...wonder what I'll make next? ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Take 2 on this mount...so for this one, I sorta prettied it up and wanted to try to use some heat proof fiber washers on each side of the exhaust tab for vibration insulation. I have the washer material somewhere in my stash, just haven't found it yet-in some little box in my storage space. ![](https://i.ibb.co/5LnRkLL/exmnt.jpg) Still going to fab a more stock style of mount too, just waiting on a chunk of aluminum to get here, this is what the stock one looks like all apart: ![](https://i.ibb.co/vHRT2MY/stkmnt.jpg)
And of course my thick carbon is delayed (by a train wreck of all things!) so that little project will also have to wait ![:(](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

Getting a little closer on the rubber isolator mount: ![](https://i.ibb.co/m4p27d0/exmnt2.jpg) Little closer: ![](https://i.ibb.co/vQ8h478/exmnt3.jpg)
And bushing installed: ![](https://i.ibb.co/JW10k9W/exmnt4.jpg)

Ok, finished with this project, my goals were to make a mount that would match the machined portion of the frame, exceed the strength of the original, and look...different, while still keeping the rubber isolator. ![](https://i.ibb.co/M78XMW4/exmnt5.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/nn1Zdv2/exmnt6.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/KwSMg0z/exmnt7.jpg) Looks great! Are you machining these manually or with CNC? Sorry if I missed that if you mentioned it.

Harbor Freight mini mill, definitely not CNC, lol ![](https://i.ibb.co/wQ9cPDD/mill.jpg) Have had this for at least 12 years, made many things with it. Did a slight clean up to the mount, removed just a bit of material from the top right and right edges to "center" the bushing more: ![](https://i.ibb.co/NVyf6R8/exmnt8.jpg)
