Got a new 12-volt voltage regulator for my 51 from Classic Parts. Comes with 3 rubber mounting nuts...NOT the grommets with the brass insert, I know where those go.....but what they call the "Mounting Nut. Has the nut up inside this rubber piece that is about an inch long. Tells me, cause of the design, these would be used to isolate something somehow. If the screws that mount the regulator are going through the firewall, what would be the purpose of these mounting nuts? And why not also run a ground wire, from one of these mounting screws, to a better grounded spot besides the firewall? Just asking cause I don't know. Classic sells these nuts separate, they call them Cargo Lamp & Voltage Regulator Mounting Nuts.
I do know that the old v/r that came off (a couple of years ago) did not have these mounting nuts anywhere that I remember. Did have the grommets with the brass inserts. I know this cause I still have the old v/r.
