I have 600 hours on Lord mounts purchased from Vans. The store now shows both Barry and Lord products at $185 vs $270. Is this a case of price equaling quality or not? Spruce has "aerobatic" mounts for Vans at $493 each. RV4, Lyc 0-360, parallel valve, dynafocal mount. Most every local flight involves aerobatics between -1.0 and +3.5 G. Thanks for any input.

Lord or Barry engine mounts ?

Lord engine mounts are built by Parker Hannifin and comes with a 5 year warranty.
Barry engine mount are built by Hutchinson and comes with a 5 year warranty.
Vibration isolators are normally tested and approved to the environmental tests appearing in MIL-STD-810 or MIL-E-5400.
They may be used in a temperature range of -65°F to +300°F (-54°C to +149°C) for BTR® Silicone and -40°F to +300°F (-40°C to +149°C) for BTR® II Silicone.
In general aviation, Minimum Performance Standards is what FAA require to certify a product.
Is there a difference, other than the price, between Barry or Lord ? I don´t know.
In general, mounts that are intended for aerobatics are stiffer and will cause more vibrations in the aircraft.
Good luck

we had a good thread about different types of isolators here.
