Folks,
When I saw the pictures of the "grommets", a light went on in my head.
BING! I work in nuclear power, aviation, and arcade stuff - this is a cross-over to aviation.
Go to the following website: www.aircraftspruce.com
In the search field, type SHOCK MOUNT
You'll get several different mounts, ranging in price from $7 to $17, of things that look just like the "grommets".
Description:
1" Square Plate Type Lord Mounts, 6 lb. rating. Monel mounting plate. Base holes .141" dia. for 6-32 screws. Center hole .166" dia. for 8-32 screw. New surplus item - like new mfg.
Description:
2" Square Plate Type Lord Mounts, 35 lb. rating. Steel mounting plate. Base holes .196" dia. for 10-32 screw. Center hole .391" dia. for AN6 bolt. New surplus item. 200P-35
These things are used to shock mount aircraft instrument panels. They have the same problem by the way - the rubber cracks after years of service.
You can also cross-check them by make / model - Piper, Beech, Cessna - if you have an avionics shop nearby, you can bring them your old one, and they might be able to match it.
I hope this helps.
