Ian, I did blast the ends after I finished the earth straps and I probably won't tin them but if I do I'll post some pics.
I found a source of mounts but they are in 300mm lengths and I'm sure they think they are gold plated. I guess there's not much call for these. Anyway so be it and they were blank lengths and too wide so I carefully cut them to strips and then trimmed each side. Very awkward in the bandsaw as the rubber bends and distorts so I had to put strategic packers with each cut as I had no spares left after cutting. (24 required)
A top hole, 2 slot holes then a sand blast and another part completed.

Hello Colin, Do you mind sharing where you got them as I need to make a set for my carrier radio as well. Again love seeing your talents displayed

It's a Mackay brand mount isn't it Colin? An Australian company.
They are available in 150mm and 300mm lengths and I think two densities?
Go on the Mackay rubber web site and have a look.

Hi Colin

I have seen repros of these shock mounts on EBay shortly after Xmas at $45 US for 4 of them and they did not sell..... I wondered why??

Can you share the price from your Australian source??

Cheers

PS relisted at same price.....http://www.ebay.com/itm/221994988535...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Hi All, yes they are from Mackay rubber .com and I bought 2 x 300mm lengths of the lighter ones and they cost me just under $300AU which I thought was right up there but looking at what Bob linked to Ebay they're about the same. That equates them to about $15AU each. I did consider making some after seeing Richards Arial bases but this was much quicker and they are the same as the originals.
Hope this helps.
Colin.
