Hot off the spring winding machine, here are my new Thorens TD124 motor decoupling springs.
This is of course not a new idea and the vibration isolation benefits of springs over the standard rubber grommets is well proven.
My springs are custom wound in Yorkshire to my specification. They are stainless steel and have closed and ground ends.
Thanks to the flat ground ends my springs naturally sit vertically and no alignment of the springs is necessary.
Please note that these springs are only suitable for the longer motor rods used on the TD124 mk2. If you have a mk1 with shorter rods you will need to convert to the long rods before fitting the springs (conversion kits are available from Hanze HiFi).
Fitting the springs takes moments and you can simply reuse the standard E-clips and washers.
They're priced at £25 for a set of three, plus £1.05 for 2nd class UK mainland postage.
