I have thought about this. There ARE custom mounts, but I think some are totally custom. I have a photo I can dredge up from 2003 vtr national. My plan is to use 1/4" steel bar (1.5" wide?) and make

Yep, they can go bad seemingly pretty fast. Last summer I had a new Lucas sport coil go bad. I was driving around and suddenly it had a terrible misfire. It seemed to be running only on 2 cylinders.

Scott, I did a little investigation into this question. The reality is that the modes of vibration are sufficiently complex that the dempeners were selected by trial and error. It was impossible to a
