Respected
Hey y'all- Many of us have stiffer 'solid' polyurethane motor mounts in our modified Hondas. I have not come across any post as of yet talking about real ways to cure the "lawn mower hands" that happen while driving such cars. Circuit racers with these stiffer mount surely have ways of combating these effects on the hands as they race for longer periods, but I haven't found much info on this online.
Found a post about some one putting Dynomat on the mounts....heard of people drilling holes in them....But my real issue with them is the vibs through the steering wheel, making my hand go numb.
Found that this is super common with motorcycle riders. After digging a bit from that angle I came across some ideas that are new to me..... How about filling the steering column with silicone? (yes I know they are supposed to 'collapse' in case of accident, and filling them with silicone may not be the safest idea...) Or attaching lead weights to the steering column or steering system some how?....'
I plan on going to a junk yard over the weekend and pulling a steering column to figure out what is possible. Wondering if any body out there has any experience of tricks on this subject?-
Its an old subject, I know, but there never seems to be a productive out come- Any input is welcome.
Cheers.
