That sounds like a good way to go RamblerRumbler wrote: ↑February 12th, 2021, 1:21 pmI also need a speedo grommet for my early '28 truck frame and am considering part number 9600K219 from McMaster-Carr. Take a look, it is for 3/16 thick material (good) but for a 1-3/8" diameter hole. My frame crossmember hole is 1-1/8" diameter. So I'm thinking that since you have to split the grommet for installation anyway, you can remove a little extra material at the split to allow it to fit the smaller hole.
Not sure that will work. The 'wall' from the cable to the frame will not be reduced doing that. You need to cut material out of the groove going around the grommet. But! Give it a try and let us know. That is how we learn.. good luck..Rumbler wrote: ↑February 12th, 2021, 1:21 pmI also need a speedo grommet for my early '28 truck frame and am considering part number 9600K219 from McMaster-Carr.
