i need new or good used isolator mounts for my early rv-3.
o-320-e2d, dynafocal mount. completerv-3 kit sold new by vans 1978.
barry isolator mounts sold by vans for rv-3 wrong size.
barry isolator mounts sold by acs wrong size.
my mount cups are 2.5"id with 1" inner hole.
no # visible on old mounts. and they do not fit the cups correctly,maybe always wrong?

any ideas on where to buy correct isolator mounts?
any advice would be appreciated. lawrence

early rv-3 isolator mounts

thanks fin: wiill try Wag Aero monday.
it seems the barry mounts vans and acs sell for the rv-3,4,6,7 are all the same.and they do fit "some" rv-3's.
vans words "rv-3 and rv-4 barry isolator mounts are the same"
so i ordered a set and they are not even close to my early rv-3,dynafocal mount. after i waited 3 weeks on the back order.
my kit is from 1978. any oldtimers have advice as to correct isolator mount?
thanks for listen to my rant. lawrence
 
Have you talked to the manufacturers? Barry or maybe Lord in this case..

They almost all have technical departments and you can usually talk to one of the engineers that designs the thing. That is the most knowledgeable source available and I have had great success going that route. Besides, in this year of the pandemic the guy or gal is prolly working from home and would love to have a helpful discussion with someone besides their dog ;)
