Want to play name that part?

Hi Guys,

After a recent complete engine bay strip down I've got a rubber grommet left over that I can't place.

I had labeled everything I took out but this must have been left behind and either the Sodablaster or the spray painter removed it (as it was sitting in a tray with a few other parts also removed during the stripping/painting process).

Does anyone know where this grommet belongs? I'm assuming along the firewall, but really it could be from the dash forward.





Cheers

I know you said engine bay but... its not from the rear wiper hole is it? looks similar

 

2nd...looks very similar...

 

to me....

it sort of looks like one of the rubber gromets thats goes in the radiator mounts (bottom)....

Cheers

 

It dose

look the rear wiper gromet, 99% sure it is!

 

Not the radiator grommet...I'm looking at one right now, unless TT and NA are different shape.

It looks like either a firewall grommet, or possibly (I havn't looked at one for a while) the rubber sleave/grommet from the lowbeam bulb in the headlights.

Check your rear wiper

 

How about the Grommet

from the rear wheel well that has the radio antenna go through it & into the bodywork.

It's the rubber cover that goes on the bottom of the oil pressure sender and protects the connector from engine crap.

Or its the rear wiper grommet, ( got to have a bet each way )

 

my $0.02 werth

Could it be a rubber from the old air box.
I forget what they look like as that does look like the same size.

 

maybe a "nismo ribbed condom",
its the rubber boot from the oil sender as tekky has suggested imo

 

You guys are forgetting its nearly 2 inches round, well 40mm which is close enough with a 15mm hole so no its not a wiper grommet nor is it head light seal (had those out plenty of times) or ariel. Its definatly firewall judging the side view. Might be too small for your steering column but not much other reason for the flex ribs. Maybe its the rear wiper seal lol

 

My first thought was the lowbeam grommet too. A nice and easy re-fit if it is

 

Oil pressure connector cover.

 

argh!! of course

I didn't even think of the rear wiper.....I had the glass removed and the hatch repainted (yet again). I'm betting that is it as well. As soon as I get home I'll check and see who was right

I did think of the grommet for oil sender, but that is still there. Also thought of headlight grommet but was incorrect size. Clutch rod to booster was another thought but was wrong size.

Looks like I was delaying the rest of the engine bay work for nothing I just didn't want to get everything in and bolted up to find out (yet again ) that I had missed something important.

Thanks everyone, very much appreciated.

Cheers
