Where can I get some meaty rubber grommets?

[hooblah]

I bought a kit of rubber grommets of eBay, but they're really thin and plasticy. I need some thick ones that work. Anyone have any ideas where I can get some?

I don't know how these compare with what you've got, but don't have a problem with them.

Yeah that's what I have, and they're too flimsy. I'm trying to mount a radiator and need something stout that will allow the dowels to go through and provide some vibration damping.

Sounds like you want bushes rather than grommets?

What vehicle is it for?

Thanks guys. Yes I believe I'm looking for bushes. It's a s14 radiator so worst case I'll go to the dealer. Just wondering if there was a kit of different sizes available.

Put " rubber radiator mounts " into eBay and fill your boots .

S14....did some one say the magic word.

You might also try putting this in the eBay search " Radiator-Mounting-Radiator-Accessories "

Thanks for the help. The only one for a s14 on eBay is in New Zealand. Still can't find anything generic that's suitable, or there are no dimensions listed. To the dealer I go...

Pick the cheapest with delivery and order, use the opportunity to order any other genuine parts you might need.

Wait a few days.

Win.

Get friendly with those 2 websites if you are going to own a Japanese car.

Thanks for the links!
I called nissan and they want £11+vat each! And there's no UK stock as it's 'old' so it has to come from Japan.

I don't actually own a s14, just my project uses the rad from one :P
