I am taking this old thread up as I am having trouble pushing the lines through the front grommet (between passenger cabin and tank area). Is it recommended to remove the grommet from its position, install the lines through it and then put it back with the lines inside it ?
Thanks a lot Antoine |

QUOTE(TRS63 @ Apr 25 2022, 07:42 AM)  I am taking this old thread up as I am having trouble pushing the lines through the front grommet (between passenger cabin and tank area). Is it recommended to remove the grommet from its position, install the lines through it and then put it back with the lines inside it ? Thanks a lot Antoine Pull the grommets (both front and rear) from body sheet metal 1st. Get lines routed out the big hole in front sheet metal under the gas tank. Now put some glycerin on the fuel line tubes. Slide the front grommet onto the tubes. A dab of glycerin on the retaining lip of the grommet. Push the front grommet into body sheetmetal. Seat bottom side you can't see 1st. Then push in the top side -- use wide lip plastic trim tool (could use screwdriver but be careful due to small / sharp edge) to tuck the retaining lip in and seated to the body, being careful not to rip the grommet. Same sort of process for the small circular rear firewall grommets but takes longer and a little more finesse to get them seated. Just installed the grommets on my own project about a week ago and used this process. @TRS63 |
