| A simple system for retrofitting rubber mounts where there is insufficient room for 'Lord' mounts. Note that no part of the engine or bolts is allowed to contact the fuselage directly. 2mm rubber sheet was used on the prototype. |
| Effectiveness of Lord mounts: Meaningful comparisons of rubber mounts vs no rubber mounts are difficult to achieve, given the need for remounting the engine in between tests.
