Grommet identification

I found this next to my alternator today. Recent work includes new radiator fans and dual oil coolers. Any idea where this goes? Car ran great until the alternator died.

Maybe the isolation for the lower mounting pins for the radiator? Not sure anymore if the oil coolers had similar isolators but easily checked.

I was thinking it was familiar, looks like it goes on the bottom radiator mounts. Wonder how it got so up high. I did have my friend on radiator removal/oil cooler line routing duty while I cut the lip bolts off the bumper cover, that could explain the odd location.

Yep, looks like the rubber feet that go over the pegs on the bottom of the radiator. Either that or the rubber isolator for the AST, it also has a peg on the bottom that goes into a rubber grommet.

Oh I don’t know, they like to travel. Pretty sure NASA is still monitoring similar bits I’ve launched.
