hood cable grommet part number or size?

[MM71VegaDad]

It FINALLY rained here in SO Cal and I wanted to keep the vega uncovered so I can find and fix leaks. The only real one I found was the water coming in via the hood cable through the side panel The previous owner sealed it with RTV but I pulled that out and now I have the hole with the cable (and water) running through. Anyone know the part number or size for the grommet? Thanks!

You can always seal it with some Thum-Gum non-hardening sealing putty put out by the Bramec Corp. It is used in the hvac industry and will stick to anything, Isn't affected by heat, cold or vibration and will seal a fairly large hole around things going through the hole. You can't see the hole that the cable goes through, so appearance isn't a priority, so this stuff is just the thing to use. You can get a wad of it ready and simply push it around the cable and hole until the void is filled. Since I have used this there is no more issue with water coming in via the hood cable.

I did some research on this grommet and came up with with one about a year ago for another member. I should be able to still get another but I have to go back and check to see if it is still available. Worked out very well as I recall. cjbiagi@yahoo.com

Thank you! I was thinking of gooping it up, but if grommet is available I'd rather do that WITH the goop as well.

Clyde when that comes in, and before it leaves your possession, maybe you could measure it up and post for future researchers. Thank You Clyde for your consideration! Harry

I did research on this grommet early this year for another member. Maybe when Chris gets this he can post a pic of it installed along with a review of how it fits/looks. If anyone else needs one feel free to contact me.....
