I know this is going to sound penny-pinching, but does anyone know why the
Lord Engine Mounts (EA J-3804-20) at Vans cost $20 more apiece than at
Aircraft Spruce? I presume they are the same components and everything else
lines up pretty well for cost so I was pretty surprised. I could better use
the $80 to take my patient wife out to dinner Wink

Also, there is another brand (VIP, Vibration Isolation Products) that
carries a certified equivalent for even less (total savings of $136 over
Van's kit). Does anyone have any experience/info on these?

Thanks,
Marcus

It is like going to different grocery stores, each has items that are
cheaper and items that cost more than other places.... For reference,
the large aluminum air vents are $20 cheaper at Van's than at AS&S....
So pick and choose.... They both get my business.....

Why don't you buy it all seperate and report back to list after a year in
operation. That way all of us know whether or not to stick with FWF-kit or
to purchase seperate (inferior) parts. It is not really worth while I think
to buy seperates, in particular when your talking mounting rubbers. The 540
is a heavy engine and it would be a shame to have saved $25 to find your
engine is sagging an inch after 6 months......
Ever wonder why a lot of these cheaper items rarely show as OEM parts?

on the other hand, if your project is sailing that close to wind that it's
depending on a $80 dinner date with your wife, you should probably buy the
FWF, and. spend the time saved with your wife............never mind the
money Smile

I guess I wasn't clear that they are the EXACT SAME PARTS (i.e. not
inferior), just $80 cheaper so I was asking if someone knew of any
differences since they are the SAME PART NUMBER but much cheaper. I used
the AS&S mounts on my Skybolt with an IO-540C4B5 with great success doing
acro. Having built 4 airplanes previously, I concur that there's no point
in saving a few bucks if it compromises safety, but I'd sure like to save
money all things being equal.
