These ones are pretty hard though, hard to tell if they would do much. With these in place my panel will be suspended on them, and sit somewhat on a small soft rubber pad on top of my tunnel. I am wondering if I should be bothered, whether I should ditch this idea and mount the panel to the firewall directly like I believe the instructions dictate. Im keen on knowing what people think of attempts to isolate the high frequency vibration, whether it's worth the effort. I am going to have an electronic panel as best as I can, and my sub panels screw straight onto lugs on my panel carcass. Ive also been advised to cut the lip off the top of the panel which I have addressed by building an inverted, internal flange, so I can do this, but other than weight saving Im wondering if that is a common thing to do. It wouldnt hurt to put my panel forward an extra 1/2 but its not an imperative, and I do already have the mounts attached to the firewall, albeit with nylocs on the engine side, to be changed for conventional nuts before I go too far and forget. Any tips gratefully accepted.
