You need to know the original body diameter and depth and thread size but once you do, it's easy enough to find them on fleabay.

Just to give an idea ^^^^^

For some unknown reason they are now coming up as exhaust bobbins (the most common use i suppose) rather than resilient mounts.

Maybe i've been unlucky with my efforts to repair them, that said i've done nothing different to you so not sure why there was a problem on mine but not yours. Superglue is a bona fide way of joining "O" ring cord to make custom "O" rings, even for engineering use.

PS - which polyurethane adhesive/sealant do you use?
How do they actually work because the ones that I have don't have the threaded part on both sides as you can see in the photos. Do you just cut them in the middle to get two or do the metal parts slide out of the rubber?
