grommet

Hi Folks,

Looking for the benefit of your collective wisdom if possible......

I have a new shock on the way for my 660z, and have modded the airbox to make the swap a simpler job.

So 32mm hole drilled in order to get a socket to the top mount (which works a treat). Top bolt turned around and all is good.

Now the problem I have is obtaining a suitable blanking grommet to fit the hole

I have sourced some 32mm blanking grommets, but as anticipated they are to fit 1.5 mm thickness tin plate (makes sense as they are intended for elecrical back boxes / conduit etc).

The hole is currently blanked with one of these however its not ideal.

I wondered if anyone on here had managed to find a source for rubber blanking grommers for a plate thickness of 4mm (which is what the back of the airbox is). If so I would appreciate knowing where they came from.

All input gratefully recieved.

Kindest Regards,

Urchin
