Where to find VIP Isolators / Mounts

At 1300 hours, the 320 in the 6A is sagging enough that I need to consider new isolators. I think that they were Lords, but can't remember what I put in there. I coughed and choked a bit when I saw the price of $280 per set. Then looked at the Barry and it is now $180. Vans shipped me VIP mounts for the 10 and happy with how little it has sagged in 400 hours. I found the VIP part number, but can't seem to find them anywhere. Did they stop making them? Maybe a new part number?

Appreciate any assistance on finding something reasonably priced, assuming that has not fully perished in our field.
 
Larry - I can’t tell you where to find the VIP’s, but I have found that for Barry’s, check Airpowerinc - they have some great prices!

I tried to track them down and finally got someone that told me the manufacturing facility for VIP had burned down. I also went with Barry isolators.

My Barry isolators were one of the few back order items in my kit from vans. Seems that spruce has them in stock at a great price too. If I get to that point where it’s a holdup, I guess I have options.

Do you have the V.I.P. Mount part number you need? Happy to help you if I can.
