Puma compressor to LCP mounting plate, rubber isolation or not? (1 Viewer)

I'm tempted to ditch the rubber feet and just mount it directly to the the plate.

Otherwise to do it correctly, seems like you'd need three layers of rubber; top, middle and below the LCP plate. Thought about using bushings from the top of our radiators with that shouldered bolt, though that requires a decent sized hole being drilled through the Puma mounting legs...

Other idea was to use pieces of exhaust pipe mounting straps.

Or am I over thinking the amount of noise/vibration?

I think the rubber mounts are to protect the compressor. I'm sure the mount is plenty stout to take the vibration.

No, I know the mount is plenty strong, I was just thinking more of noise/vibration in the rest of the truck when operating.

I bolted thru the rubber feet, the vibration isolation when the pump was running was my reasoning. I'm sure it's not necessary the was it couldn't hurt either.
