1947farmer quips, "My rubbers were about shot so I'm going to cut mine out of the side wall of an old tire."
A lot of jokes could come out of that!
1947farmer adds, "If you cut the right tire at the right spot you get a nice 1/4in piece."
Just stay away from those darn steel belted radials. Cutting through those is harder than pulling eye teeth!
1947farmer closes, "Already made my cab mounts that way...Recycling at it's finest."
You betcha! Saves money! I found front motor mount cushions for pre-1958 inline sixes make for good all around use. Large diameter, thick, big hole through the middle, perfect for imaginative engineering. Cab cushions and bed cushions would probably work for John's radiator support needs; right size, right thickness.
Farmer, if you can get your hands on these, old go-kart slicks are great for slicing and dicing.
