Vance, I have been waiting for your input on the
rubber
bushing in the firewall trick.

There are a lot of points that I find attractive about
this scheme. The input on low frequency from the
overhung weight was a quite valid question. The rubber
to composite joint is VERY good since metal to "glass"
contact can lead to a fraying type failure. Being a
belt and suspenders kind of guy, I would vote for a
very stiff rubber mount to the firewall and a more
compliant set of joints near the mass. "best of both
worlds"??? or "worst of both worlds"??? - Vance
