I went in search of some rubber grommets to fill a few holes in the 850 and to replace the origional ones that had perished. Clark Rubber was my first thought but I nearly died when I saw a 15mm grommet was going to cost me $3.15 EACH

There is no way on earth I will be paying $2- $3 a grommet, where else is there that has them for a cheaper rate or can you buy a kit similar to an "O-Ring" kit????

Try a panel beating supply place or an autolec , they normally have them in the multi-size kits for a damn sight less than that .

You know the bridge that goes over the railway line just after the Uni at North Parra. As you coming over the Crest take the first left and the left under the bridge then left again
Not sure on the prices but they will have every thing you want in one store

If grippy's isn't convenient or whatever, try spectrum rubber in dunheved industrial estate. I seen heater hose in Clark rubber with spectrum stickers on the box so I suspect they supply SOME stuff to clark rubber. I've found them to be reasonably priced over the years.

You have a PM Scott

Have a look at late model cars next time you're at the wreckers. I found E series (EA, EB etc) Falcons in particular have more grommets than metal, especially around door jambs, under the sills and the boot floor.

Scott, here is the list of all rubbers for minis at Scotts old rubber company at Dunhaven, there cheap as chips for grommets there.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

ohh didn't you know they were made of gold.... you should see the platinum ones now they are $$$$$

but on a serious note I'd visit the rydalmere one gafmo mentioned I've been there before and got great service, they treated me ok hope they do the same for you

The place in Sydney was called Peter Jackson's Old Rubber Company, now called spectrum rubber following an employee buyout. It's the same place I recommended to you in an earlier post. Not sure of the previous or current tie-in with Scotts.

Peter Jackson owned Spectrum untill the marrige ended then had old rubber company but Pete and Bev are moving down south and will be harder to get stuff from.

Pete does or did fantastic parties

Steve

When's Pete moving and where to?
