electrical and ignition What Part(#) Is This?

[PaulTWinterton]

Let me try this again.

 

There are some parts on the tii that go missing early on in their lives, and so few tii's still have them that a lot of owners didn't even know the part existed.  I think this is one of them.

 

There's an eyelet connected to the dipstick tube that was used to channel the starter positive cable between the battery and the starter.  A rubber grommet was there to keep the cable safe from being chafed by the metal eyelet.  Over the life of the car the cable is moved, removed, or replaced and the rubber grommet usually disintegrates or gets removed with the cable.

 

I can't find the rubber grommet part or it's # on any diagrams.

 

Any other tii owners add any knowledge?

 

(edit) Now that I think about it, it may be a part that was on other models as well.  Very obscure, but Bill Williams has it on his car, and my car has the eyelet sans rubber grommet.

 

I took the liberty of using Bill Williams replacement starter photo to show the part.  Hope that's ok.

 

Thanks for reading and replying.

Sorry, don't have a part number.  I was able to find a rubber grommet that fit from a little mixed package of generic rubber grommets that I found at the local Kragen/O'Reilly's here in California.

The e-mail I sent you bounced back to me.

[PaulTWinterton]

Hmmm, my e/m address in my profile is correct.  Can't imagine why it was bounced back.

 

Thanks for letting me know though.

 

Any information on that grommet?

 

Cheers,

 

Paul

I plowed through the parts catalog and could not find the bracket nor the grommet. Lets see what lilmo comes up with.

 

The e-mail bounce was my ineptitude with the new FAQ, sorry.

[PaulTWinterton]

YES! Thats it! #21522072270

I'll try my local dealer.

RealOEM etc have it listed around $1.00

I'm sure I can get it in Canada for less than $5 bucks :-)

Thanks Lilmo.
