[Maybe it will just be for a second while you go through this or that RPM. Or
(with my luck) it will be for hours on end while you try to make it to
Sun&Fun. The amount of movement induced into the cooler may be nearly undetectable.
Just holding on lightly and revving the engine may show it off. Maybe not. Some
airplane engines cannot use some props because of this.]

 
Hi again Lynn,
 
Thanks, as always for the comments.  I hope you're not getting carpel tunnel from all this typing :-)   I understand the principal of harmonics, and agree that there are no end to the variables that determine the offending frequency.  For example, say you construct a perfect isolation from the engine, then the airflow through the core shakes it at a critical frequency (which would be my luck btw).  I just don't think there's any way to know what will happen without testing it.  
 
I'm going to keep thinking about this, and would still like to see pics of other peoples evap mounts (thanks also to Jim and his funny firewall).  I can think of a couple ways to add some isolation to the cores, without changing their location, so I can proceed with the current hard mounts, at least through ground testing.  I'd like to see if I can get any indication of whether they will have a problem before I change it all. 
 
Thanks again,
Rusty (stubborn, slow learner)
