Dont throw away that bald ass 4 ply "non-radial" tire. Use a hole saw and cut body mount rubber washers out of em. The center bolt hole is already there when you cut em too! also..im using the bottom part of a road construction thingy.. { not a cone, but a big rubber pad that holds up a larger square "cone"} for my motor mounts. Just cutting out a peice with the hole saw as above. Re-using rubbers is good for the enviroment B?]>

thats a good idea! How thick are they? Are you using the tread or the sidewall? semis have a rubber strap belting (from 2" to 5" wide and as long as you want if you get a new roll) that goes between the fuel tanks and the metal bands that hold them on (to keep the bands from scratching and wearing through the tanks) and ive used that as body mounts.
Some industrious and talented artisans have been known to make some bullet proof sandals out of them too. I think they call them Huarachis in T J
What do you do with 400 used condoms??? Make a tire out of it and call it a "Good Year"(insert cymbal crash here) ...Try the veal folks I'll be here all week ... make sure to tip your waitress!
Use Gin-u-whine "Gum Dipped Champion wide whites" If you tip the waitress, it's considered good form to at least help her up again! DrJ We used to call them Jesus Boots, but that was North of TJ. Actually, this is a good idea. This being drama week tho, you can't just let a tech idea sneak by without comment.
Don't forget the inner tube while you're at it. It makes great anti-squeek material and lots of other uses. I use it for through the floor pedal seals. My rubbers never got stretched that much but that's a personal problem
