Philco 16B
#8

Hi Skip, I ran into a similar problem with the 66B I restored some months ago. I ended up buying grommets from the local auto parts store which would fit nicely in the holes in the chassis for the originals. They turned out to work OK. By fit, I mean the slot on the grommet fits nicely into the hole in the chassis, with rubber above and below. You have to kind of squish them and work them in for them to fit, but once they are in the mounting screw for the condenser fits through the hole.
