After a fair amount of research, McMaster Carr has the Barry 22001-12 (apparently, all dimensions are the same) for $8.99 and shipping is $13. You can also pick from soft to hard. I picked durometer 55A, which is medium, and from what I've researched, proper for an engine mount. Thanks again, Tom.

Tom thanks so much for taking the time to dig through your files. You've answered a number of questions for me.

I found one new Lord mount, still in the ACS bag with a tag.  Lord #CB 2201-12.  Current ACS price $42.85/ea.  I have attached a pic of this mount pulled apart with notes that show the markings on the rubber parts.

Then I found a tag on an empty ACS bag for a Barry mount, Barry #22001-12, yellow/white.  Current ACS price $10.50/ea.  I am 99% sure this is the mount we used on the Verner.  Pic of that one also attached.

I also found some notes that came from Les Homan years ago, and he says use a Barry #22001-12, yellow/white medium hardness.

I looked at McMaster-Carr and found that they sell these type mounts, but not by name brand Lord or Barry.

Hope that helps anyone looking for mounts.

Jack, I do not know the source of the oil tank kit.  One of the guys came in with it one day.  Overall, it was too thick and heavy, but I used the cylinder anyway.  The original end caps were dished, thick aluminum, which I did not use.  Instead, I made new flat end caps with thinner alum sheet.

Chuck, I don't think the isolators were from McMaster-Carr.  They could be Lord mounts.  I remember we had a couple choices on hand, and they had a color code on them.  ACS shows some Lord isolators for ultralights in their on-line catalog.  I choked when I saw they were priced $30-$45 each.  If you search on internet for two piece rubber isolators, many other options are available.

Did you design your own mount? And also where did you get your oil tank

Jack.. I got everything I needed for the oil tank from these guys. Unfortunately they don't seem to be taking orders.
