Fan shroud wiring grommet?

[Kirk Lundmark]

What is the best way to seal the hole in the fan shroud after removing the wiring. My grommet was all dried out and broke apart as I tried to remove it.

I went to the local Porsche dealer and he said it was no longer available.

Thanks,
Kirk

Any good auto parts store should have grommets in different sizes for less than $1 each. If you find a grommet which is to large it can be cut to fit in the hole.

I didn't have much luck finding grommets at hardware stores around here. The sizes were too limited. I'd suggest you go to Aircraft Spruce (www.aircraftspruce.com). They have a huge selection, quick service by web or phone, and you can buy grommets individually instead of in lots of 100. I ended up replacing the grommet you speak of with one that I got from there -- it didn't exactly match the factory grommet in appearance, but it worked just fine.

If you go to the main site, do a search on "grommet." You may have to poke around a bit to find what you want; I'd start by checking out this page on their site:

Good luck,

After doing a search on the site I found several posts about the fan shroud wiring grommet.

The end result of every thread was no parts available from Porsche or Pelican.

I guess I will go to the local hardware store and search around unless one of you folks have a source for the part.

If one of you found a great solution please share the source.
