Some progress since the last update. Here are some pics of the suspension insulators. The upper right one was a success, the other two examples were early attempts to deform the material and you can see the material failed. Bruce comments that this material tends to have some 'memory' and each one needed pressure to be maintained for some time after they cooled and then they needed to be trimmed, drilled/punched, and riveted in and the springs reassembled into the suspension unit to get them back under compression to preserve their shape. How well this material will work is unknown at this point. Unlikely to get much driving use anyway.
