Here's a pic of my posi cable running next to the dipstick sans bracket, "The Horror".  I think it would be nice to help hide it away, as long as that terminal feeds easily through the grommet.  I predict there's going to be a run on these grommets at your friendly dealer.

OK.  I found an old photo of my VIN 2762757. And I have one — I should note, of course, that VIN 2762757 don’t need no stinkin’ grommet!

 

Regardless, I will still happily take two new cable loops: I plan on losing the original when I have the Kugelfischer overhauled....  ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Wow, Steve! You’re sitting on ticking A-bomb....  ?

My grommet is present.

Take THAT Steve!

My cable actually has a black rubber sleeve that runs almost its entire length for additional protection, you know sort of like wearing two....

While I'm at it, will clean up my terminals then give it the ole lick test to ensure good connection.

Carls gonna freak if he don't have no grommet.

I have the same part on my Cab, with the original grommet still in place, so not Tii specific?  I also have a clip on the Alternator that supports/routes the positive battery cable, but I believe that this was something Bill Holmes added when he had my car in his shop and not an OEM part.

I have yet to look at my car but would this be relevant to a car that has had its battery located to the trunk?

Probably not.

Even the cable loop looks added.  I'm not 100% convinced that it is OE on that engine.  I'm told that the dipstick clamp is attached via the air intake on the standard 02, as opposed to the KFish on the tii. I would need to see a standard 02 in it's original config to be sure.

After checking some photos of the Cab's original configuration, it appears that Bill Holmes added both pieces while it was in his shop.

I'm a little surprised that the factory didn't add the loop on carb cars.  Nice detail and added support for that cable.

Not a problem for me, Nick! I like that clean, grommet-less look. And I’m happy to accept a little risk to reduce weight... ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

 

 

[bluedevils]

I will take 2 units please.

[penth2o]

I’ll take one also Paul. 

Too lazy to go look at my car but I’m sure I’ll screw mine up when I rip into my car. 

Thanks. 

Are these zinc plated or brass plated like yer drawing?
