Is there any trick to getting the temp/oil/trottle/choke cables through the new rubber gromet? I suspect it is a matter of cutting into one side of it and shoving all the stuff back through..Thanks, Scott | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 226 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 226 | How ever you do it, it will probably be time for a new grommet when you are done.! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 201 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2015 Posts: 201 | I had mine all wired up and wire and such through the fire wall with no seal and I ordered new seals and put them on last week, I took a box knife in one spot cut the seal, wrapped the seal, around the cable/wire harness and then took superglue and glue where i cut back together and pushed it into the firewall, worked good and easy | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | I've heard of people using superglue with success. Steele recommends Loctite 495 which I've used with great success. The down side to the 495 is once open it has a very short shelf life. Buy only the smallest size you need. It will not keep for long. Keeping it in the fridge may help it last longer. I bought the large bottle thinking I may need some later only to find it all dried out the next time I tried to use it which was only a few weeks later.

Multi hole grommet like the one the Choke, Throttle and Temp gauge run through/ I split into one hole, then split the web. You can pull the Choke and throttle out and feed back through...but that temp gauge? Not gonna happen. 3M makes a good weather strip adhesive in black. It works well. Just a bit on the cut ends and a little clean up. Stays flexible too.
