I have these anti-vibration pads for a reason: I have a 5kW Coleman alternator that tends to switch over while running. If the movement is not stopped, the generator will slowly rotate and wrap itself around all the wires connected to it. I made legs for this out of rubber hockey pucks, but they didn't stop the pivoting motion. Vibration isolation pads, and they killed the rotary movements. Watch my short video to see how these spacers keep the alternator stable. To install these anti-vibration pads on the alternator, I used a 1.5" drill bit (the same bit you can drill into wood). I didn't drill all the way through the pads; I drilled just enough to fit a bolt and large washer in the hole to attach the 2x4 anti-vibration pad (see photo). I then bolted the 2x4 to the alternator. It wasn't hard to do and so far it's working well. The bottom line is that these anti-vibration pads are made of sticky rubber that absorbs vibration and prevents slippage. Why did I go to all the trouble of installing these anti-vibration pads the way I did? Two of these pads and a 2x4 piece are MUCH cheaper than replacement feet for this Coleman generator. I recommend these anti-vibration pads.
