Well it seems that the 4 wheel shop that we ordered our new compressor from is up to their eyeballs in back order and we will likely not get it before ship date. Sure wish FIRST had a reliable supplier for these. Anyway, we are going to have to use one of the many old compressors we have laying around. The problem is we cannot find any of the rubber mounts for them. Anybody know where we could get some? Maybe you have some extras laying around and we could buy them form you?
Thanks
Bruce

These may not be the exact same mount, but they're pretty darn close. McMaster Carr P/N: 9376K11

this (http://www.vexrobotics.com/products/accessories/structure/275-1029.html) is what we use.

We had no problem getting an 092C compressor after we found the 090C compressors were back ordered everywhere. The one we initially ordered from said they would cancel the order because it was on back order. The 092C compressor is legal as it only differs in the fact that its' air filter is externally mounted. The GDC ruled that compressors of the same specs are legal, if you can prove it. Since the performance sheet at Viar's web site is identical doing a screen print of both pages should get you by inspection.

The 095C also has the same specs but a uses different mounting system.

In a pinch you could probably get some rubber stoppers from a hardware store and drill holes through them.

The KOP compressor mounts are also threaded the same way as vex components (8-32 I think), if you have them available there is a vex piece what can work in a pinch.

We make our own out of thick rubber and bolts.
