These are 12V results, I should have labeled that.
Running either the stock Laing housing or this housing, I notice a lot of high frequency vibration, probably 1st order of the impeller speed being transmitted to the table. I've noticed that EK and Koolance just use tapped holes, but Swiftech supplies a gel pad to mount the housing My assumption has been that hard mounting the pump to the case may create other little BSR (I'm an automotive engineer, and BSR is a standard term, means buzz, squeak, rattle).
Perhaps two versions? A cheaper tapped hole version, and a more expensive version that has some isolation?
I wouldn't worry about it to much, most of us spl anal retentites will find some convoluted personal "best" vibration damping method, or just hang the pump from the tubes. Threaded holes are sufficient.
