Has anyone tried the new blobs on their xerxes?

Seems an awful lot of dosh for an anti vibration mounting......

I did a search on one of the numbers marked on my original blobs and found them on the internet as a generic anti-vibration mount.

And what was the price ?

 

[happychappy]

I also researched this a couple of years back and traced a company in Surrey that used to stock them, alas I was a little too late and they had none in stock and were not expecting anymore.

From memory they were around a fiver each but a minimum order was needed.

Hopefully I should be getting some of the original parts soon.

Bit cheeky but any ideas on price yet?

 

[quickie]

Not yet.Last lot I got were about a fiver each but this was years ago.

Originally said they were not made any more,but have found some with longer threads (Roksan used to supply the metal work for them)

Good luck, I will keep my fingers crossed and my eyes firmly fixed on your posts.

 

[quickie]

Will let you know David when I find out.

Paul.

Hi,

How about a bag of 100 8mm ones starting price £5 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ANTI-VIBRATIO...ols_Construction_Tools_ET&hash=item1e6272f6cb


Better than £159 !!!!

[spxy]

they are not the same

 

[Pete MB&D]

Yes I know, just using the price as an example of overcharging.

[andrewhockley]

Would absolutely make my day to find an alternative supplier for these new blobs, particularly if they are pennies each.

Hi,

I got some 20mm ones free, they have a Farnell number on the packet that doesn’t resolve to any thing i have been meaning to sit down with the catalogue and have a look, must measure mine first!

Keep us posted folks. Perhaps a group buy if ones were found with a minimum order amount ?
