Bonnet guide rubber

[tom_loughlin]

Hello all,
My bonnet has started to chatter when making progress, and the reason behind it is that it is missing one of the rubber grommet type things in the locator plate (fixed to the bonnet).
I am talking about the guide rubber, that the plunger locates into.

I have searched the usual suspects (clever trevor/racing green etc...) but have not yet managed to find anywhere that sells them.

Other than getting one from a smashed car, can anyone think of anywhere that might sell them?

Thanks all

TVR power do them, you should be able to get them from a decent DIY store/ electrical wholesale they are a standard
Size crommet

Go to a hard ware store and get an electrical grommet. You may have to cut a small section out if it but they work fine.
Not sure if these are the correct size but gives you an idea of what I mean.

I got mine from magnetti lighting or something like that, they do small selection of Tvr spares.

Halfrauds do a little plastic box of mixed grommets - it contains several of the right size.

Thank you all,

I hadn't thought about standard ones, will have a good look around Maplin and see what I can find.

Thanks again

Racing Green do sell them Tom, I just got a pair from them a couple of weeks ago for about 80p each. I'd post up the web link but I'm posting from the phone so its a bit of a pain. Have another look, they're definitely there.

Pack of 100 for £3.77 from CPC or 2 from Racing Green at £1.60

That's a bit of a mark up....

Just think of it as a tax on those who can't be arsed to type "10mm grommet" into Google.

I dont blame them - who wants to be fulfilling lowish volume small value orders? By the time you walk to the cabinet, print off the address, stick it all in an envelope and shove it in the mail bag etc then why charge the customer 10p. You also need to manage and order stock levels.

Do CPC not have these overheads then?

Pity you were not as "Clever" at choosing your Cerbera's engines as you are at knowing the business plans of selling grommets , you may have been able to get that 3k per year average down
