Someone had asked me about these a few months ago. The plastic ones they give you are horrible and crack, hence the reason I made these up. I need to take a picture of these next to the stock IMS mounts.

They're just 6061 angle stock I drilled/milled and sanded to fit nicely. Now I can just relace the rubber with a piece of fuel line hose if they wear out, I've been running these hard for about 2 years or so.....
Under that fuel line is just a small thin walled sleeve (a bit more than 8MM ID) and it keeps the bolts from only using the rubber. I think that the sleeve was just some 3/8 ID tubing locally available ( I didn't have the lathe running at that time....) The rubber is just a cushion, without the sleeve it would just bulge out/expand when you tighten the bot down.
Anyhow, if you have an IMS and your unhappy with the plastic mounts; These pics give you an idea of how tro make them, or at how I made mine anyhow :D
Merry Xmas :beer
