I will answer with a few questions Is there a call for this product? Is there left and right? Are they the same on all models sedan ute van wagon? Does anyone have samples? Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: zulu on August 21, 2008, 08:52:11 PM Les,
yes, pretty sure most would agree that there is a call for these yes, left & right yes, same across all FE-FC model range I can provide you with a reasonable second hand sample pair of these Craig Alderson had a sucessful go at making a pair of these from scratch, I followed his method & also made a pair but it would be lot easier to just buy them ready made.

Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: Papa Smurf on August 22, 2008, 08:30:41 PM My suggestion would be the door channel rubber (in the door glass lifter channel) the glass sits in at the base of the wind up/windows,

Was kind enough to supplier samples of the following 48,50,FJ,FE,FC,FB 7418903 LINK WIPER ON ARM FE,FC 7410356 TURN SIGNAL LAMP LEAD - THROUGH FRONT FENDER SKIRTS FE,FC SP1346 HORN WIRE - THROUGH RADIATOR SUPPORT 1/4" As well as the headlamp harness sleeve these have all been sent for quotation We are still looking for FE, FC 7409515 HORN WIRE CLAMP I would also like a price on the rubber bumper bar flaps as long as they are RUBBER and not a urethane compound. If not a sample of those would be good I will add the window channel rubber to the list of parts to make Les Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: mcl1959 on September 03, 2008, 07:59:41 PM Les, I don't know what the horn wire clamp grommet is. Which is why I didn't send it ::)
Ken Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: zulu on September 04, 2008, 05:55:52 PM The only horn wire clamps / clips I can think of is the one that holds the Hi Note horn wire to the radiator support panel brace as it passes over the radiator ?
Or the the horn fuse holder clamp / clip that holds it in place beside the regulator ? Let me know if you still require an original sample of the L & R rear bar dust / dirt deflectors. Cheers, Gary Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: mcl1959 on September 04, 2008, 06:58:25 PM Gary, both the items you mention are clips, not grommets. The parts book refers specifically to a grommet which has be bewildered as I can't think of what is being described.
Please send the rubber flaps to Les McVeigh RSP Australia PO box 10 Mail delivery centre Somerton Vic 3062 Regards Ken Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: les on September 05, 2008, 10:35:23 AM Thanks Ken
If you don’t know what that horn clamp grommet is then I guess it’s not needed Les Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: les on September 17, 2008, 04:50:05 PM I have given the go ahead to manufacture the following

Cheers, Gary Gary I would like to take you up on that offer to supply me with two good second hand rear bumper flaps, I will replace them with new repro ones when we make them.

I have headlamp harness sleeves in pretty good nick for the early FE Bosch headlamps.....but the ends of the later Lucas ones are bigger I think (the end that goes into the bucket). Which ones are you intending to remanufacture? Jon Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: les on October 06, 2008, 12:25:37 PM Les, I have headlamp harness sleeves in pretty good nick for the early FE Bosch headlamps.....but the ends of the later Lucas ones are bigger I think (the end that goes into the bucket). Which ones are you intending to remanufacture? Jon I did not know there are two types if there is enough demand we will make both Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: Jonno on October 07, 2008, 06:52:07 PM I did not know there are two types if there is enough demand we will make both Hi Les, I'm not sure what proportion of folk have the older Bosch set-up, best to ask someone with more insight (e.g., Ken, RET?). I'm happy to provide the samples if you need them though. Jon Title: Re: Grommets help required Post by: greyone on November 12, 2008, 07:53:26 PM one other item i would like to see ava would be nylon inserts for the wiper arms fe fc have rubber and i,m lead to believe fb ek had nylon which I haven,t been able to get
