Abstract

The mounting stud of an accumulator is secured within a central opening of a base pan mounted elastomeric grommet by way of a metal sleeve having outwardly extending protuberances that grip the inner walls of the elastomeric grommet and inwardly extending protuberances that grip the threaded stud. The protuberances are angled in such a way that both the stud and the sleeve are easily inserted into their mating component but subsequent removal is substantially prevented.
