The parts (Van’s P/N: EA DYNA VI-STD LORD; Lord P/N: J-9613-40) fit Van's standard large cup Dynafocal engine mount used on the RV-4/6/6A/7/7A/8/8A/9/9A/14/14A (per Van’s). They come in pairs (1 pair for each mount cup), so you need 4 pairs. See this Van’s Store link for more details:

Vibration update …eastonale
One slightly weird thing I've noticed when going over my engine data on Savvy is that when power is brought back to idle, especially during the flare, the EGT's go from a relatively tight grouping to some dropping excessively. Or, maybe it's #5 & 6 that aren't dropping as they should. Anyone know if this could be a clue? I know induction leaks would cause them to rise so this one puzzles me.

Help with Odd Vibration Needed
Hi Everyone, On my 3 yr old RV-10 I've been struggling to find the cause of a really weird vibration that comes on with higher power settings. It makes the control stick vibrate and I can feel it in the bottom of the seat and on the floor. After balancing the prop, changing engine mounts, and...
