Can anyone help in identifying these couplings please?
They are fitted to a pair of Gardner 6LX with 2UC gearboxes, on 2 1/2" shafts, are approx. 10 3/8" in diameter and are from the 60's.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Andy - I believe they were called "Silentbloc" although I thought there was a thin wide steel band around the outside that protected the round rubber ends

Hi Paul
Thanks for your reply. I had in mind they might be Silentbloc units but I can't find any relevant reference to them on internet. The alloy castings are badly corroded and 'blown' in places and the rubber bobbins are fifty plus years old so would need replacing.
If we can't find spares for them, which I doubt we will, then we'll have make something new up.
Cheers
