I tried several things that did not work. I then went to the local hardware store and purchased some 2 compression springs approx. 2 inches long wound from approx. 100 thousand s wire and approximately 3/4 inch diameter. I made band type loop hangers to connect springs to the exhaust pipe and the engine mount legs. The springs absorb the shock from landings etc. ( I fly from a grass field (bummpy). I now have 9 years and 1900 hours on this set up. Good Luck.
