Cyclone Mounting

[Jim McCarty]

A little while back there was a picture of a mount that someone had made using plywood and insulated with rubber bushings and pieces of rubber hose in the mounting holes. My Dust Gorilla comes tomorrow and I can't seem to find that picture again. I want to mount the cyclone to a shared wall between my garage and my living room and am trying to minimize the vibrations. Does anyone know what thread this picture was on. Thanks in advance. Jim

I see mention of vibration isolation in this thread but no pictures.

Here is what your looking for, I think.

Steve, THAT'S IT!! Thanks a million. I owe you one. Jim

Now, my question is which is more effective to insert rubber between the wooden support/ stud and the angle iron, or between the angle iron and the cyclone -- or both?

If you can do both, then do both. My method of putting the rubber between the angle and the unit was something I came up with "on the fly". I have no empirical evidence to show that it reduced the transmission of mechanical noise through the structure. Of course I think I've only been upstairs from it once, real quick, to see how much noise is transmitted. It was pretty quiet.
