you can make one with 3 hockey pucks some electrical tape a 1/2"x6 1/2" bolt 4 washers and a lock nut. stack the 3 hockey pucks then tape the 3 together, then drill the 1/2" hole down the center of them. remove your old motor mount and replace with 2 washers at the head of the bolt the pucks then the other 2 washers and the nut. won't have a problem with that mount ever again after

I did the hockey pucks last week and I am completely satisfied. I do get some vibration, but nothing like the shaking you get with a broken motor mount. It doesn't cost much and takes maybe an hour or less to fix.

Some people have taken old tires and cut a circular section out of the tread (same size as the hockey puck) and used that. It has a little more give than a hockey puck, but has more structural integrity due to the steel belts. I went the hockey puck route and tolerate the vibration. If someone is really bothered by the vibration, they could try using old tires.
