LORD #283P-155 Powertech Generator Plate vibration mount

Has anyone located a distributor for these mounts that isn't attempting to get you to fuel their Rolls Royce?? 

Group purchase ??  pc

About four years ago, the mount topic came up. As I recall, there are two different manufacturers with the cost about $25/ea. Think Kent Speers was somehow involved. We were trying to figure which mount gave the least vibration in the coach.

Gone are the days of the $27 (LORD 283P-155) mounts.
So far, if you get lucky you may find them for 2X's their typical cost of a few years ago.

I'm continuing to beat the bushes.. pc

Lord (currently) has a distributorship program that is region specific.  In my case TX., (Astro Tech.) 
If someone has access to these for the 2008 price, let me know..  I'm still looking.  pc

Put me on the list of interested viewers.  I would like to change out our mounts as one of my future projects.

"LORD" does not have an exclusive on mounts. 
I'm looking for an acceptable alternative that could replace their 283P-155.
I've also got the time to build a mount/isolater if I cannot locate a replacement.. this ain't rocket science btw. 
Feel free to take up the project if you have time and interest.
I've access to whatever is needed, including a couple of PE's that are retired with nothing but lunch to contemplate..
Stay tuned.. pc

Not rocket science fitting a mount to the PowerTech. Check a variety of mounts and then compare measurements at: engine mounts rubber - Google Search

I don't know if it's because ours is a 12kw but our mounts are very different than that.  Very large and almost air bag sized.  Very little vibration.  The generator (isuzu 3cyl) shakes like it's trying to run away on on startup and shutdown but you can't feel this in the coach at all.

Just got done with my annual maintenance on the generator and decided to check the mounts.  All four of them have failed so I contacted Powertech and found them for 69.00 each.  After I got done crying :'(  I got on the internet and found a distributor for Lord mounts.  They informed me that the price would be 42.50 each but they had to do a search throughout the country to see if they were available.  The search showed that none were available but they offered to order the minimum of 250 at the price of 29.00 each!  So I went back on the internet for other isolation mount manufacturers.  I found Tech Products and they say have an exact replacement for Lord mount part number 283p-155 and looking at the specs it appears to be true.  Their price is 10.40 each and they are available :dance:  I ordered 4 and I will update this thread once I've gotten and installed them.  Their part number is 61591-3.  Here is a link to their PDF

I have no idea when our mounts deteriorated to the current state.  The vibration level at this time does not feel different from when we purchased the coach in 2008. I noticed that the engine/generator feet were within a 1/32" of the heads on the four retaining bolts. On shut down some would actually touch.
I spoke to Dave @937-438-1100. He confirmed the their mount was a exact replacement.

I've got a small scissor jack that looks like it will slide into place (Ford PU type)
Getting the parts in hand has been the holdup..  pc
