Title: Need PNs for two grommets
Post by: ctaylor738 on February 06, 2013, 23:54:06
OK, parts geeks -

I could use some help with PNs for the grommets where:

- the wires to the TTS go through the frame rail - 18mm hole

- the wiring for the alternator goes through the frame rail - 16mm hole - near the air cleaner

As alway, TIA

Chuck,

Did you try K&K, they are usually pretty good about figuring out the part. Although Buds and Millers are also in the mix.

No, for a couple of reasons

- I have this thing about paying more for shipping than the part costs

- Posting it here would make the information available to others

Chuck
isn't the whole idea of this site about sharing information?

Stan,

The answer is 'not entirely'.  There are two levels of Membership, Full members like your self that give and take information from the site and are happy to put in a small annual fee to help defray the cost of running the web site etc, and as such have full visibility of all parts of the Tech Manual and also get the Pagoda notes and Pagoda World publication.

Then there are a second level of membership, Junior Member, who do not contribute financially, cannot access editing and thus cannot contribute to the Tech Manual and also only have partial access to the manual and do not receive the Pagoda Notes or World publications as a non contributing member.  Those members have a couple of other limitations placed on them as well in accordance with the Forums Charter and Conditions of Use but all members whether Full or Junior, do all  try to assist each other whether they feel they contribute, draw benefit and thus give financial support or just make use the forum for many varied reasons without assisting with the cost of running it. 

Both past and present Members of the Board, elected every two years, decided that even though some Junior Members may seek information and help in some cases many hundreds of times, do in some cases, contribute a wealth of information to help others and that there should be no compulsion on those members to become full members.

Thus to answer your comment, not all information is shared openly to all levels of members as a incentive to contribute the small fee to help defray the costs.

Joe,
I noticed Chuck's request but I didn't understand what he means with "through the frame rail".
A photo would have been helpful. Are you listening Chuck?  ;)
I remember that we chased the two grommets circled in the photo but they appear to have the same hole size!
We settled on A116 997 07 81 for those two.

Yes, Alfred, I'm listening.  I thought that the descriptions alone were adequate, but will include pictures in next request.

Those are the two grommets.  Thanks.

Cheers,
