Looking for a part, don't know what it's called

The headlights are attached to a plate. This plate is attached to the truck by 6 studs that attach by nuts to the front of this plate and on the rear to the support. The center of these studs are rubber to cushion the headlights from vibration (I suppose). The rubber has sheared off on all of them allowing the headlight assembly to hang by the wires.

I can't find them on the sites I've looked through, nor do I know what they are called in order to search.

Can someone tell me what they are and/or where I can get them?

That's not the correct diagram for what I was asking, what I'm referring to are the 6 mounts for the plate that the headlight and infrared (I think) are attached to.
OK, that which I posted was so one can see the TM number printed on it to give a search starting place. If it is not in that TM 2320-209-20-3-1 then the following can help and maybe your answer is in the -34 and -35 TM's.

It is all in the TM's. There is a SS member that would tell you to read the TM's and be done with it.
I offer the following I thought to be a very good "roadmap" and SS gives the books for free.

This is from Recovry4x4 on or about 10282013.

FYI, there are 2 common sets of TMs online for the deuce.
TM 9-2320-209xxxx and TM 9-2320-361xxxx.
The 209 series has about 11 books and the 361 series condensed it to 5.
Unless you are proficient with TMs, I guide everyone to the 361 series for ease of use.
Remember that -10 books are owners manuals, -20 or -24 are unit maintenance (minor stuff) and the 34 and 35 stuff is depot (major work). As DH pointed out, books ending in P are parts manuals.

If you get good at searching then you can tell me where all the metric threads are in a Deuce.

Good info, I get frustrated flipping from one TM to another forgetting which 10 or 12 digit numbered (or how ever many) TM's I've already looked at..

Anytime you run across these types of general use components, look in the Grainger, Fastenal or McMaster-Carr catalogs, you'll find that the prices are much more appealing. For example: Looking for gladhand seals? Fastenal has them.

The TM's that end in -P ( parts TM) also have illustrations of the parts .
OK, the rest of it Remember that …………………..

-10 books are owners manuals,
-20 and -24 are unit maintenance (minor stuff)
- 34 and 35 stuff is depot (major work)
Books ending in P are parts manuals with parts illustrations.
Thanks porkysplace

now......where did I see all those work packages? (like WP00001)

Those are in the 361 manuals and newer. They went to a new system for the mechanics since they don't seem to know their butt from a hole in the ground !

Great Scott!! I have a Grainger and a Fastenal less than 3 miles away, I could have had that fixed already. When I saw the prices the surplus dealers were asking I thought they must be made from Unicorn sinew.

And thanks to everyone on the TM information, it all makes better sense now.

The surplus dealers think some of this hardware is specialized to MV's. With a little searching, a guy can save quite a bit of money.

I've only come across a few items that are strictly made for the military. The rest of the stuff is normal vehicle items. I really love McMaster-Carr. They carry so much of everything !
