Carby 600/750/900SS fairing indicator plastic grommet

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by Humbug, May 20, 2012.

  1. I know, really tiny part, but I need a decent grommet so I can replace the self tapper that's holding on the right hand front indicator, with the proper screw.

    It's a small white plastic grommet that pushes into the fairing. My dealer can't source it. Anyone got one or two hanging around?

    Cheers,

    Humbug

    ps Wallace and Gromit jokes most welcome

    I fitted an M5 rubber wellnut to my half-fairings, does the same job... :upyeah:
     
  3. A bit of windscreen washer pipe or similar, heat up the end with a lighter until it starts to melt, flatten the end against a cold bit of metal and then push it into the fairing.

  4. Ah, you have a parts list..searching on google gave an alternative part 036499020 though it says it's M6:

    www.mdinaitalia.co.uk - WellnutM6

    Does that look right?

    Does Halfords stock this kind of thing?

    Cheers,

  5. have also used a wellnut instead - std 'tapper' is M4 (which I stuck to) but M5 just clears.
     
  6. Resourceful bodging, love it! Expect this will work just as well as an official part :)
     
  7. I meant to say use a self tapper as well......

    ...today I had to do exactly the same job, but fortunately I had a couple of plastic/nylon square bungs which I fitted into the hole which I filed square to suit, and ran an M4 tap through it....job done.

    You can get small square screw thingys from car body repair places....they have loads...
