I have my gas tank out and under it there is a ~100mm hole on the passenger side and a gap around the boot where the steering column goes through the body on the way to the steering rack.
Is something missing? Coming from Wisconsin, the hole and gap are very inviting to garage invading squirrels to store their nuts and more in the fall and winter and it seems like something should go there.... Are there OE parts that go there or did any one fab something up for the hole and gap? See attached pic... I have since cleaned up the surface rust. Cheers, Andrew |

Made you a "grommet" with the option to use the grill section I provided or your own. Love to see how this works for you.

Great, once I get it I’ll fit it up and get some pics and thoughts up. @Mikey914 - The OD of the grommet is the same as the diameter of the hole unfortunately so it drops right through. Doesn’t seem to be a quick solution. Have any other ideas? @sixnotfour - I may try to source one of those screens. Looks pretty good. |
