Default FEATHER SERVO GROMMETS

Where can I find rubber grommets and the inserts for Hitec HS-55 feather servos?

I have a set of six servos but none of them came with the accessories needed.

Thank you.

Tigerdude as far as I know there are no grommets for the micro servos. all the installs I have seen are hard mounted. you could
however cut a small piece of fuel tubing and put it between the servo and mounting plate with the screw through it.

Ken's grommets MAY be for larger Hitec servos and not fit the Feathers. I have no absolute knowledge on this,

My bad. Here's the correct info for that servo. [link]http://www.hitecrcd.com/servos/show?name=HS-55[/link] . It doesn't look like this servo needs a servo grommet. If you want to use something, a small piece of fuel tubing (or an O-ring) underneath the servo at the servo screw would go a long way to isolate it.

So not necessary to have grommets for feathers?

That brings a question. With the feathers much smaller than even micros, wouldn't thay be more delicate? Meaning they would need grommets because of being so sensitive to vibrations? Please explain this if I am wrong

Normally smaller servos like this are used for park flyers, gliders, or for smaller electrics. In these cases the vibrations aren't a huge issue. Using this servo in a fuel powered plane could damage the servo, even it it has a grommet in it.
