Thank you soo much for the pics!

So... if I'm reading this paragraph right... what I'm looking at it some sorta metal strap piece, layered with a rubber strap piece underneath of it (in-between the metal of the frame and the metal of the strap)... bent around the frame backbone there?

so... you used the same 1/8" plate metal (mild steel I assume?) for this as well?

tharden:
1/8" mild steel 1" wide is what I used.  The idea came from the forever vibrating Harley Davidson.
