though, hard to tell if they would do much. With these in place my panel will
be suspended on them, and sit somewhat on a small soft rubber pad on top of my
tunnel. I am wondering if I should be bothered, whether I should ditch this idea
and mount the panel to the firewall directly like I believe the instructions
dictate. Im keen on knowing what people think of attempts to isolate the high
frequency vibration, whether it's worth the effort. I am going to have an
electronic
panel as best as I can, and my sub panels screw straight onto lugs on
my panel carcass. Ive also been advised to cut the lip off the top of the panel
which I have addressed by building an inverted, internal flange, so I can
do this, but other than weight saving Im w!

an extra 1/2 but its not an imperative, and I do already have the mounts
attached to the firewall, albeit with nylocs on the engine side, to be changed
for conventional nuts before I go too far and forget.
