Posting this on General forum since both pre- and postwar part. Where do you go for such grommets? Steele has the exact grommets with a superfluous lip, because on the 9/16" thick rod, under compression at that, it's not like they're going to shift. Not paying $70 for what are otherwise four (4) simple rubber grommets.
1 1/4 inches diameter, 9/16th inch hole, about 3/8" thick, but a minimum 1/4", judging by the below pictures. Mine under the car are obviously squished a little after 76 years of compression so hard to determine original thickness. Section 5.1504, Packard part "insulator," # 348945 Here's a link picturing the snubber: https://www.google.com/search?q=1947+Packard+snubber&rlz=1C1UEAD_enUS970US971&oq=1947+Packard+snubber&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l3.8317j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=gUt_0LC7kMvf6M I tried to attach photo only 854 kb but am rewarded with: "Errors Returned While Uploading file: snubber.htm File of MIME type: text/html is not allowed"

Thanks, but Packarding 49 years, have long known about McMaster, Grainger, et al. I don't want to buy a crate of them.
Only wanted to know what, precisely, any here gathered have used, where they got them. We're talking about rubber grommets, for cryin' aloud, not some complex Packard specific item someone had to tool to reproduce.

McMaster let's you buy in relatively small quantities now.
Here's one that might work(?) box of 10 is $11.25 McMaster-Carr grommet, 9/16" hole diameter

If your city is large enough you might find a rubber supply company as I did and and ask if they would be kind enough to sell you a scrap the correct thighness, then all it takes is a hole saw and a speed bore.
