These are troublesome as they are almost always broken due to deteriorating rubber. Even NOS ones fail if you put a set on them. To fix them (or reproduce them) what I have done in the past is bolt the two bottom angled pieces to a metal plate at the correct horizontal spacing. Then I put a threaded metal rod in the centre with a bolt at the right height to position the central U shaped piece. This rig holds the three pieces in their correct spacing without the rubber. I then welded the pieces together (with a little filler and careful to have the weld within the joints) then filled the spaces with black silicone. Dry, cut the sides and you're ready to go.

Similar mounts are made commercially and available online. A quick google search led to this: http://www.vibrationmounts.com/RFQ/VM110225.htm

That was the one I was figuring on as well. You might be able to elongate the holes by 5cm each and obtain the required spacing.
There are other manufacturers of similar mounts in inches rather than mm. Perhaps some of them come even closer. These mounts aren't cheap mind you. They run around $15 or so each. But the fresh rubber with modern bonding might be worth it. |
