| Engine cont. Grommet & Throttle Stuff |
While kicking around some ideas
for firewall pass-through, Steve
Kellander sent me a URL for
Precision Grommets
These guys were great to work
with and very timely in sending
me the parts. I decided to buy
two of these you see here for
the throttle cables. I went with
the 6061 aluminum and I'm very
happy with the results.

Sorry for the
fuzzy pic here.
The o-ring didn't
really do much
to seal the cabin
side as it was
against felt. But
it worked out
fine.

| When I ordered the grommets I thought all of them had an o-ring behind the front flange...they don't. If you want that you need to specify. It worked out fine though as I ran a small bead of RTV behind the flange and then screwed them together, that is what you see around the edge and I think it looks fine. Once I get the carbs adjusted to where I want them, I will seal the cable up with the RTV to seal off gasses. |
