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 |
