What do you folk normally do when you need to make up some rubber bushings or mounts for an engine (or other piece of equipment)?
I just made some new ones for our ancient lawn tractor using various off- the-shelf rubber discs and bits of reinforced hose (which just happened to be the right diameter for what I needed) - but it remains to be seen if they last for long without wearing out.
I wondered about using the rubber from the treads on an old tractor tyre that I have laying around, then somehow turning it to the right profile - or maybe casting using a mould and some sort of suitable compound is a better way?
