fp280z Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 My Cannon manifold came with a set of "anti-vibration" washers that look like very flat two coil springs. Does anyone else hate these things? If I tighten them down according to the instructions, the carbs seep gas from the rubber isolators. If I tighten them down more than that, they break and/or are rendered useless for their intended function. Any other options here? I think the nuts are nylocks, can I just replace these useless anti-vibration washers with flat washers? Thanks. -Rick www.typeischeap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I am certainly not an expert.... but I have never heard of those and my tripple Mikuni's don't have anything like that and I have never had a problem with them. Dragonfly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 My Alfa Romeo used flexible rubber couplers between the engine and the Weber DCOE's. I don't know what you have there but a photo would help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fp280z Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ahh, there's what I need. See the "thackery" washers. Those came with my manifold. Looks like the rubber cushions and cup washers might be worth checking out. The soft mount plates are tempting too since the ones that I have are plastic (plastic is a better thermal insulator though, I'd guess). http://www.rdent.com/pages/carblink.html -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
