#1 Engine loom grommets

Post by Richardhealey » Sun Jan 12, 2020 6:09 pm

Evening all,
Just starting to fit the engine looms and think I am possibly making a mistake with one of the grommets.

In the picture below, you can see the ‘alternator harness’ grommet seems far too loose around the harness once fitted. I can fit a finger along side it. Also in the photo is the only other grommet which came with the Autosparks set which could be the correct one, but I don’t think it could ever stretch enough to allow the rest of the loom though. Any ideas please?

Many thanks!
Rich

Richard, those grommets done come with the kit. Best thing to do is fit all the grommets first as per the list that comes In the packet then start laying in the loom.
