Anti-vibration feet, any good?
« on: October 09, 2015, 04:45:19 pm »
As the title really......

What do they actually do? I see them on some machines, but not on others. just bolted a machine onto my van floor and thought it might have been better to try and protect it from all the bumps  of driving around. but I see engines used on whackers and vibrating rollers so they must be quite resistant to being shaken about

Is it worth going to the hassle of fitting these feet?

Yes, otherwise everything will be shaken to bits, both pw and van

Thick rubber mat between the floor and machine?

Not ran the Briggs yet as I'm having a custom petrol tank made to fit in an awkward space, it's mounted in the van already to go.

Usually I don't bolt the machines down  I just sandwich them between the stainless steel water tank and the bulkhead, thought I would bolt this in
