I'd noticed the similarity to VW pump mountings myself (i'm a bit of a VW
nut as well as Guzzi). not sure but i THINK vw part is threaded M5 as
opposed to M6 of guzzi part, so would not screw into fork top plugs.

Hi Pat and all,

VW/Audi (and probably other auto manufacturers) use the same sort of
isolators to mount the fuel pumps and filters. The ones on my '88 80 Quattro
look much the same as the new Agostini supplied ones I bought for the '71
Ambo. They may also be available at a good hardware store or small engine
parts shop. I'm not sure how much the dimensions differ, but the Audi ones
stay together - one split last time I changed the filter. 14 years - pretty
good! Cheers,

Charlie

 RE: Loopframe dash panel rubber mounts with threaded studs.

I think these same rubber mounts are used to hold the early EV computer to
the rear fender. I had most of mine come apart on two EV's and my dealer
says it is a common failure. Like you, I saw that the rubber to metal
bonding was very poor. Not sure the Guzzi replacements are any better. Does
anyone know of some other production substitution?
