Who can I go to for new shockmounts and glue for my Eames fiberglass side chair? (The kind with the hooks on the base.)

I found it on the curb in good condition except the base and seat where no longer connected and the shock mounts were hard and crumbled.

Thanks!

Try these
I believe you can buy the shockmounts from any good Herman Miller distributed stores.

personally i would not was...
personally i would not waste your money on shock mounts for that chair, and that base with the sides is for stacking chairs, and is at the very bottom of the food chain,
If you want something cool get the effiel tower
don't replace the shock mounts, drill them and get screws and rubber washers, and go through the effiel tower base
Then you have something , another wise it is just a junk chair on the side of the road.

Go to the link provided... for glue, use PC7 and mask where you don't want the glue to go. That's the only one that works.

Will sell you shockmounts. And if you do want a better base than the stacker you just need to glue the shockmounts onto the second set of impressions on the underside of the chair. They should be 7 3/4" apart (from the center hole) and 4 3/4".
And while your chair may not be a huge boon in terms of money it's still a cool and comfortable chair. Good luck!
