I used a good flexible glue. I plan on changing the headlight at some point so i figured i would change it if the dampener broke again.

It doesn't seem to affect it at all and the glue actually holds extremely well.

You can buy just the rubber mounts elsewhere from HD.

Specs:
.75" wide
.38" tall (3/8")
1/4-20 threaded studs

They're male-male vibration isolation sandwich mounts. Takes some research on Google, but you can find them. About $2 a piece.

Edit: Filter by width to .38
