Grommets

PostPost by: RichardHawkins » Mon Sep 02, 2019 9:00 pm

Our cars have grommets in many places. In my case Elan S4 FHC I need to replace them all, but so far have not been able to find a supplier.

Suggestions please

Engine bay sets are available from the usual suspects in the UK ... significant difference in price between these two.

Thanks everyone, I will speak to SJ and Matty tomorrow.

Bill,

I started with a google search when Sue said she could nor help, and although I have found a huge range of grommets, there are some that I cannot locate, in particular the grommet that the loom passes through into the engine bay.

Yes - there are grommet specialists.
The key issue is usually getting them to match panel thickness.
