Rubber Grommets and plugs

Share this page

You can get a box of asst grommets at Harbor Freight very reasonably. The plugs are not as easy........even @ .30-.75 each they are not expensive on the Roadster Factory sales. Add them to another order so you don't spend more on freight than the products! Well worthwhile to replace them while you put everything back together....never a better chance to make your car look "new" again.

I had very good luck sourcing plugs and grommets from britishwiring.com
I found that they had the same size grommets for half what I was paying from other sources. They have a wide selection of sizes.
 
If you have everything stripped out of the firewall, this chart will help in getting things where they should be.
 
It appears to me that the $14 kit only includes the grommets, not any of the plugs. When I restored my TR3, I just bit the bullet and bought the complete kit...RFK1985. It includes everything including the steering column boot and the jack hole plugs in the floor...41 pieces altogether.
 
I bought TRF's bulkhed kit,and still need some plugs.Did not know rfk1985 was available,as it doesnt appear(unless I missed it) in the TR2-3 catalogs,but is apparently in the TR4-6 Catalogs.This is the kind of stuff that can make the TRF experience a little frustrating.

Here's something I made up that might be helpful.

Frank- put that on a PDF so it can be shipped around and blown up!
