#1 Fan motor grommets

Post by peters3103 » Tue Feb 19, 2019 10:23 am

Hi all,
I just received some new fan motor mounting grommets C18110 from a local Jag parts supplier
who insists they are correct. They are too small and are for a 3/8” hole (The holes in the mounting bracket are 1/2”). OD is 9/16” whereas the ones that were on the car are 5/8”
Have my holes been drilled to suit bigger grommets or are my new ones wrong? If anyone has access to the holes for a measure that’d be great.

Cheers,
Pete

Pete the ones on my new 3.8 picture frame are 10mm in diameter.

Perhaps go to Clark Rubber or similar and buy some grommets that fit your holes.

Cheers
Andrew.
