Does anybody know where I can find ...?
I'm trying to find a sensibly priced source of grommets as in http://fdrage.blogspot.com/ Does anybody know where I can lay my hands on such a beast? The couple of places I've tried seem to want silly money ( 30p each when I want 1000) -- geoff |

No, I looked there. I am using them as anti-vibration mounts for warm air fan motors. The grommets which SF & TS have on offer just aren't tall enough (20mm) There must be someone somewhere turning them out for 100's/penny, it's just a matter of finding who and where. -- geoff |

It won't work Without the slot, the motor mounts would be free to move to the extent that the collets inside will let them - The motor could move off centre and rattle .... not a proper job to see the application look at http://www.johnsonandstarleyltd.co.u...OS02064SP&ACTI ON=SEARCH&searchby=Part%20Number -- geoff |

If they're for anti-vibration, they'd be best in rubber rather than the usual PVC? Yes And I'm not cutting up my gimp suit for something like that ! -- geoff |

Rubber tube down the middle and a couple of washers stamped out of foam. What, 1000 of them ? This isn't for a hobby, it's for professional use. While it's cost effective to pay 30 odd pence/unit, it seems to me to be a lot of money for what they are -- geoff |

So: Bore - 9mm Slot dia - 12mm O/d - 19mm height 12mm slot width 2.5mm or thereabouts == 3/8 x 1/2 x 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/10 Would: http://www.invplus.com/rubber/catalog_grommets_2.htm #IPB-1109 = 3/8 x 1/2 x 3/4 x 17/32 x 1/8 do it? They have a few other similar ones too. cheers, Pete. |

An interesting craft project for the children and all their friends, I would have thought. And you don't need to buy them pizza afterwards - sit them down with a Jamie Oliver video and an apple.
