So, I finally started the tear-down on my 1650. I guess buying that 42" blade yesterday got me going. Looks like I'm going to need new motor mounts, snubbers, and flex discs, for starters. The last I read the recommendation from the experience on the forum is to buy two sets of CC repro mounts ($20/set - OUCH!) and use them for the bottom mounts and use the automotive shock mounts for the top ones. That still the best option?

Has anyone found an automotive equivalent for the flex discs and snubbers?

Seems like many of these parts are just automotive parts with a CC parts number. The markup seems pretty high for some of these parts.
