Default Rubber cabin fan grommets

Does anybody have a part number for these guys? Mine are hard as a rock and I can really feel/hear the fans in the cabin. Series 1 ‘70

Try cutting off short pieces of appropriate I.D. vacuum tubing, the all rubber non-reinforced type.

buffers or isolators they are called.

measure the outside and inside diameter and the height of the best one.

you can find generic ones online using the measurements and searching for "rubber buffers".

depending on their size, to me they look like sway bar link bushings repurposed.

Google "CBC1448 Jaguar"

This a a grommet used in a variety of Jaguars, including usage as a mounting pad for radiator cooling fans on some V12 cars. They might do the trick for your cabin fan motor as well

These may fit, or maybe slightly larger. Dunno.

Could not find them in the RTC 9106 Parts Cataloge.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I did actually try the CBC1448 purchased from SNG Barrett, but alas, they’re too large in all three diameter dimensions. Great minds think alike!

thanks for the link to the Lucas wiper isolator set. I’ll try some of those next. No luck on McMaster-Carr so far.

Some dimensions taken from a similar dimensioned but different year spare motor that I picked up just in case below:
