    Do you have part numbers? I might have a set which is surplus to my needs.

    I believe Kitfox ships the Lord J-3608-1, with their in-house part number 90048.000. That's what was on the packing list for my 912iS firewall forward kit.

    Then yes, I'm all but positive I have an unused set.

    That might prove very useful. thanks.

    However, one of my contacts in the UK reckons it is not this Lord Mount.

    He says that he is 99% convinced that every Kitfox 3-5 with the original Kitfox 912/912S installation uses the "damping donuts" from the Kitfox parts catalogue (Replacement Isolator Kit, Part# 64804) even though this is marked for Models 3 & 4 in the catalogue!

    Any comments?

    You're going to need someone smarter than me (I suggest Brandon) to sort that out. I think Eric and I are both picturing the mount you would get now if you ordered one for a ULS to fit a series 5-7. I can tell you the mount for the 4 and 5 have a different hole pattern at the firewall but I don't have any clue what the Skystar people were thinking in the late 90s.
