[VAC] Re: Mounting microwave

[Garnett Horner <garnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

I have a microwave installed using the shock mounts at

http://www.tpcdayton.com/vibration/productinfo/platemnts/index.htm

I removed the 'feet' from the microwave.  I used an oak 1"x3" and cut two 
pieces the same width as the panel over the fridge.  I mounted the two 
front shock mounts to one 1x3 and the rear ones on the other 1x3.  I bored 
a hole in the 1x3, large enough to accommodate the rubber part of the shock 
mount.  The mount was then screwed to the oak 1x3.  Only trick is to get 
the correct spacing between the left and right mounts.  The center tap on 
the mount was attached to the microwave.

It's worked for me for about three years.  I just have to remember to 
remove the rotating glass plate when I'm traveling otherwise it bangs the 
interior.

Your installation may be different but hopefully this will give you some ideas.
