How to fit rubber washers between drive and drive cage?

Post by JarsOfFart » Fri Jan 31, 2003 4:01 pm

I bought these $0.08 rubber washers from Ace Hardware and I'm assuming they are the same thing as the rubber grommets people are using for their hard drives. I tried sticking it in between my drive and drive cage but I couldn't get the hole in the rubber washer to be where the hole in the drive cage was. How do you install these things?

Drill a bigger hole for it. While doing it, you might want to bend the frame a little if washer is rather thick. (HDD won't go in otherwise)
