Reverb tank foot grommet

[Axtman]

Where can I buy these reverb tank foot grommets? (I think that is what they are called.) They go inside the reverb tank rubber mounting foot and they have a mounting screw poke through them. The purpose is so you can fasten the tank to the inside of the cabinet and without squishing the rubber mounting shock absorber.

I'd say that's a rivet.

They space the screw so it doesn't trap the rubber too hard as that will reduce the suspension.
I have used a washer and care when tightening the wood screw.

No idea what to do with the rest.

It is an eyelet, like they use on Fender part boards, just a l;arger size. The grommet is the rubber ring.

But you can survive without it. Just turn the screw down far enough to be secure, just not so far as to crush the rubber.

Or find some tubing to fit the hole and cut off a piece of it and insert. Under the screw, it won't go anywhere

Rivet! Okay got it. Thanks! I will check out my trusty hardware store.

BTW, there must be some rule about amateur repair jobs where if you remove 4 parts you throw away the fourth part. I am working on an amp where every fourth part is either missing or a terrible replacement.

I've sometimes used plastic standoffs for that purpose.

Crikeys, if I have one, I have a hundred. Plus the newer-style silicone "shock absorber" inserts. Replacement tanks usually come with them installed, though in most cases they're not needed. For instance when the tank is inside a "sock" as in many Fender amps. And you know me, can't throw anything away, so a drawer in one of my parts bins is chock full of 'em.

......you can survive without it. Just turn the screw down far enough to be secure, just not so far as to crush the rubber......

Yep, that. I see lots of amps that don't have the insert. As Enzo says, just don't crank the screws down.

Well, I am also a fan of Leo's reverb bags, they help prevent feedback in the pan.
