Heater box grommet (cables)

Recommended Posts

Check the archives--folks have found the proper sized grommets at their local hardware store or some other source than BMW.  Measure the diameter of the hole where the grommet lives, then visit your hardware store with grommet in hand, and find one.  Another place to look is a shop that specializes in lamps and lamp parts.

I've installed similar "two hole" grommets on the firewalls of  vintage Benzes....but if you go that route, be prepared to pay about $20 for it. The Benz people are very proud of their parts. No idea what the part number is, anymore, but classic / vintage Benz vendors will be able to find it.

I went to Ace Hardware when I rebuilt my heater box. They all had all the heater flap grommets and then some. I just recently junked the bottom half of spare heater box. I bought it because the fan on the top half worked great.   Hopefully you took your heater core to your local radiator shop to pressure test it before you put it back together. Been there, done that and I have to pull my heater box again, the heater valve is stripped so another weekend project is in the works soon. At least I don't have to open up the heater box again...

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
