Side panel grommets

(1/10) > >>

Sesman:
Does anybody know a source for side panel grommets at a reasonable cost. DSS
wants £5 a pop for them!

I bought some cheap items of the net, but they are as hard as iron and I’m reluctant to push the panels in however we’ll they are greased up.

Put the hard grommets in a cup of boiling water for a couple of minutes, it softens them up quite well. Smear with red rubber grease and then fit them in the locating holes and push the panels on. I agree, anyone that pays £5 for 1 grommet needs shooting, it's a rediculous price.

Laverdaroo:
Has anybody tried that wintergreen oil soak method yet, or whatever its called? I've not had a chance yet but it also sounds a bit too easy. anyone had a go?............Just as an alternative maybe?

Sesman:
I’m about to try. Wintergreen and cleaning alcohol. I’m was hoping to permanently change these grommets characteristics to that approaching the OE standard rather than a temporary measure. I’ll let you know how it goes.
