Abstract
A stabilizer for stabilizing a drive carried on a frame. The stabilizer includes a stiffener element which is connected between a portion of the frame and the drive. The stiffener element is connected by means of an eccentric connector which is adjustably secured to provide an effective length of the stabilizer for positively securing the drive to the frame portion. A pair of such eccentrics may be provided at opposite ends of the stiffener element for further adjustability of the stabilizer.
