Default Re: Bush mounting grommet.

If you ever need any future grommets or crack fills etc

you could try making them yourself with the new 'wonder' putty

called Sugru, available in all sorts of colours, sticks to anything and flexes like rubber... as well as an electrical insulator.

Thanks CC,
That was my plan B. I have a packet of Sugru and I made a three part mould blank out of plastic. I needed a bench drill (that I haven't got yet) to drill the mould guides so I went with the rubber feet in the cordless option (plan C)

Update on the bench drill. Lidl are selling them on Monday at a silly price.

Hi Nick,

The vibration bolt mountings are quite large but the metric size grommets may be adaptable.

Definitely worth bookmarking for the future, thanks for posting.
