3.6 conv 2"DME rubber grommet

[rfix'n]

Okay, I have the whole cut and wires through but after an hour of trying can't get the rubber grommet in there to seal the whole. Do I need a bigger whole or am I missing something. Trick to getting rubber grommets in, I've got it lubed up with silicone.

Yep, used a 51mm whole saw.

I used a 2 1/2 inch hole punch. That would be 63.5mm. I measured the grommet and came up with 60mm as the ideal size. Everything fit perfect. I fed the harness from the engine bay into the passenger compartment and used pliers to pull the grommet in place.

Is yours that different???

Ingo ,like always right on the Spot . 60 mm is the original hole in the 964/993 .

I used a 2 1/2" hole saw and was able to push the grommet securely through the engine pad. To really do a nice job you would have to place the grommet between the sound pad on the exterior and behind the seat pad.

Since I already had a 2" hole cut I couldn't use another hole saw, I enlarged it with a die grinder and, it fits. Instructions I have say 2" hole, thats why I started there.

Thanks Guys!
